Leaders' Questions (24 Oct 2007)

Enda Kenny: One of the most important responses required from Government is clarity on its policies and positions. As I understand it, until recently, Government policy on the disposal of waste was to incinerate it and having examined and analysed the capacity of incinerators, eight were to be located throughout the regions. The Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy John...

Leaders' Questions (24 Oct 2007)

Enda Kenny: That does not answer the question. The question is whether we will have eight incinerators or two incinerators.
