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

 

Senator Dardis made a point that I have made elsewhere, although not in the House. When we talk about waste management – and I have said this in my own area in Waterford and to people in the south east – they should be alert to the fact that investment in this country is going to be based substantially on those regions that have proper integrated waste management facilities. Companies are no longer able to come to a country unless it can deliver the waste management facilities which enable them to adhere to the law. The regions appear to want to talk about it until the cows come home, while Dublin and Cork are moving ahead. I am not from either of those counties.
