Senator Cox painted an idyllic picture of all the Galwegians tripping along with their little green bags, filling them with washed yoghurt cartons and making sure these were recycled. That sounds lovely. Senator Cox has a strong track record of having regard for the environment and related matters. She was particularly vocal when plans for Mutton Island in Galway were the subject of an explosive debate. However, I would say to her and others that the waste dump in Athlone has taken the overflow from Galway, Ballinasloe and other areas. That tiphead site was to last another 20 years, but it will be full in only four years. That is because when other counties had not made arrangements for themselves, it was left to Westmeath to take their leftover waste.
