Phil Hogan: I thank the Minister for his reply. I find it amazing that he does not have information about any other sites around the country apart from Haulbowline, which his Department is directly involved in. That particular revelation showed that the Minister was very proactive in reassuring people at the time that there was no risk to public health. Even when my colleague, Deputy Stanton, and...

Phil Hogan: Deputy Gormley is Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and, like all of us, I know he has an interest in ensuring the protection of the environment.

I understand the EPA has no list of such toxic dumps that may exist throughout the country.

- Planning Issues. (9 Jul 2008)
