Deirdre Clune (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

We have been hearing about possible future use of the site since 2004. It is a complete dodge. The site is toxic, a word used by the Minister too. I will agree it was different when the ISPAT works were in operation. However, the Minister has been in office for the past three years during which time the matter has been on his desk. Will he tell us now what he proposes to do about the site?

The OPW group has been sitting for at least a year, if not more, and there is no outcome from that. When will there be a decision on dealing with the toxic issue?
