I thank the Members of the House for their contributions. Everyone is genuine about this, whether they agree or disagree with the proposals that are before us. My primary objective is to protect the public. I know that Sinn Féin does not want to acknowledge this, but we have a situation that within three years we have only enough landfill capacity for ten of the 12 months. I presume that Sinn Féin is proposing new landfills. I definitely presume that Deputy Brian Stanley is not proposing new landfills, because the most likely place they will be is in his own constituency of Laois-Offaly in the centre of the country. That does not make sense. I do not want to see the landfill in my constituency, outside Kilconnell, expanded either, and neither does Senator Ó Clochartaigh.
