Waste Management. (14 Nov 2007)

Phil Hogan: The Minister mentioned two incinerators on an RTE programme. Perhaps he did not mean to, but he mentioned that two incinerators would be sufficient. However, there are seven incinerators going through the planning process at the moment. The Minister has obviously taken the view that incineration is no longer a problem. He could have instructed the local authorities to review their waste...

Waste Management. (14 Nov 2007)

Social and Affordable Housing. (14 Nov 2007)

Phil Hogan: I cannot understand the reason the Minister of State can be happy with the output under the Part V mechanism of the social and affordable housing scheme when 90,000 houses were built in 2006, 20% of that is 18,000 and the Minister got 2,400. First, why are we only getting slightly in excess of 2,000 houses under the Part V mechanism when we should be getting much more based on the number of...

Social and Affordable Housing. (14 Nov 2007)

Phil Hogan: As of June 2007, €73.5 million was collected and is in the coffers of the local authorities. In many instances the developer may propose to give money but the final decision is that of the local authority. Local authorities can give sanction.
