Question 835: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he has been notified of environmental difficulties arising from the closure of Mallow and Carlow sugar factories; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25894/06]

I am not aware of any particular environmental problems arising from the closure of the factories concerned. As the manufacture of sugar is an activity to which the Integrated Prevention and Pollution Control system applies, the necessary environmental controls will be catered for by IPPC licensing or in the context of an application for the surrender of a licence.
