Vote 29 - Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment
Chapter 8 - Measures relating to Cyber Security
Chapter 9 - Energy Efficiency National Fund
(6 Dec 2018)

Seán Fleming: Given that there are only four open and active landfill sites in the State, is there any need for regional waste plans? I was in one in the midlands, and I am sure there is one for the west. Are they still there or are they meaningless? If there is a national policy what is the point of people in the Munster group of local authorities having a regional plan if there is no incineration or...

Seán Fleming: Could the Environmental Protection Agency not take on that role instead of 31 local authorities employing all the consultants to sell the same plan to different local authorities?

Seán Fleming: Yes. People might not agree with me. Years ago each region had all of the facilities, but now it is just the one national incinerator currently.

Seán Fleming: In its own region, because none of them has access to what is required. That is what I am coming at. Some 20 years ago everybody spoke about incinerators, landfills and recycling.

Seán Fleming: From the era when regional plans started, time has passed them out. The island of Ireland, or whatever way one wants to call it, still exports some of its recyclable materials. Even as a State we are not fully sustainable. The first objective should be to get the State into a fully sustainable capacity when it comes to waste, and then - possibly - to break it down by region. It is...

A letter came in from the Department for this meeting which is an update on the historic landfill remedial sites. Progress to date is reported on 15 category A sites. I will not go through it in detail but perhaps Mr. Griffin will talk members through that correspondence because the issues...

Seán Fleming: Whether Mr. Griffin or any of us is here, the issue will be here for a while. I have a slightly different question before I go on to two other topics. In May, we had an exchange with Ms Dee Forbes on RTÉ 2 and I asked when will we see RTÉ 2 plus one. There was quite an exchange of correspondence. The impression was given that RTÉ had applied for it. The Department came...
