Waterford City Council and Waterford County Council have been waiting for a reserve judgment from the High Court since last February in order to decide whether they can proceed with a landfill site. This is a ludicrous situation and surely a timescale should be imposed on reserve judgments, particularly on crucial environmental issues that will have repercussions for local authorities throughout the country. While acknowledging that this is a matter for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, I ask that the Minister for the Environment and Local Government bring this issue to the attention of his colleague with a view to changing legislation in the area as a matter of urgency.
