Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).

 

The Bill provides that the EPA will have the power to revoke or suspend waste licences. Will this apply to emissions or smells? It needs to be spelled out who is responsible and in what jurisdiction. For example, in Waterford city a noxious smell can originate from a different local authority area and jurisdiction across the River Suir. The legislation may not deal with this aspect but it must be clarified.
