Seán Connick (Wexford, Fianna Fail)

I thank Deputy Doyle for raising the question. I will be raising the issue in one of the latter questions where we deal with the bio-mass energy. Anaerobic digestion is a part of that.

In 2006, as part of the national development programme, a commitment was given to the delivery of anaerobic digesters. In 2007, ten projects were given the go-ahead. Unfortunately, none of those projects have moved forward in that sector. I am concerned at that and I am having a look at it to see what, if anything, we can do in that regard because there is potential in that area.
