Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

I had not heard that the Poolbeg facility is going ahead. Perhaps the Deputy has more information than I on this issue and is making an announcement here this evening. From my perspective, it is a matter for contract between a United States company and Dublin City Council. As a member of that local authority, Deputy Joan Collins will have been hearing reports about it on a regular basis. However, I have not heard whether this facility will proceed. When a decision is made on the matter, that will inform waste policy.
