Catherine Murphy: We have waited a couple of years for the legislation and then it will be a couple of years after that before the actual mechanisms will be put in place to deliver.

Some of this has to do with the introduction of green bins, composting, etc. It is clear that there has been a change since the notion of the incinerator was first mooted. The first contract that was drawn up contained a guarantee in respect...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Proposed Incinerator at Poolbeg: Dublin City Council (Resumed) (18 Nov 2014)

Catherine Murphy: I have one more question. Is money being drawn down from the Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland? If it is, will the amount involved be the final amount?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Proposed Incinerator at Poolbeg: Dublin City Council (Resumed) (18 Nov 2014)

Catherine Murphy: I might labour this point somewhat. The private operators are of that opinion. If they get a cheaper option in another county within the region, they may well opt for that. However, it is Dublin City Council that is taking the gamble on that 58%, not the private contractors.
