I propose to take Questions Nos. 210 and 211 together.

The disposal of waste from the Department's Offices is by way of contracts with the various Local Authorities. The Office of Public Works also organise the disposal of certain waste equipment for the Department. Specialised areas of the Department have separate contracts for the disposal of other waste.

Figures are not available for quantities of waste disposed of from the Department's Offices throughout the country.
