I have not had any contact with An Bord Pleanála in relation to Government policy regarding waste management, including in respect of incineration. However, earlier this year An Bord Pleanála referred a planning application by Indaver Ireland for a proposed waste to energy facility for hazardous and non-hazardous waste at Ringaskiddy, Co. Cork to my Department, in its role as a prescribed heritage body under the Planning and Development Acts. A submission setting out the views of the Heritage and Planning Division of the Department in respect of archaeological heritage and nature conservation issues relevant to the project in question was forwarded to An Bord Pleanála on 30 January 2009.
