Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).
With regard to incineration, and I say this with some scientific training, there is much less potential for pollution and less threat to human health from incineration than from landfill. It is difficult to get that message across. We had a major campaign in north Kildare when there was a proposal to build an incinerator in Kilcock. Like the super dump, there is no such thing as an incinerator, it is always a toxic incinerator. One would think that everything being incinerated is toxic material, which it is not. We can separate toxic material from other materials.
