Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).
We opted for a three tier approach in our waste management plan rather than giving the public just one option. In relation to landfill, we looked at the possibility of six or seven local sites being identified and explored in terms of their acceptability. We also considered a regional approach involving Northern Ireland and a further regional approach involving Sligo and Leitrim. All the options were assessed in conjunction with the executive board and we decided not to impose any plan on the public.
