Outside the House, particularly in places around Dublin, one would think there was huge disagreement on this issue. However, obviously there is much agreement, here in the Seanad anyway, on the fundamental issues surrounding waste management. That is important because it allows us to focus on the scale of the problem that we face and, more importantly, on the need to respond in a comprehensive way to that challenge. If one listens to the various comments made on this issue, there is no doubt that people seem to recognise the tradition we had of burying all of our waste in the ground is not a sustainable long-term solution. If we accept that, we have to look at alternatives.
