My Department has been in correspondence with Wicklow County Council over several weeks regarding the recycling facility at Bray.

Wicklow County Council has outlined to the Department the challenging financial position it faces and the need to make savings in all areas of its operations. In light of its particular difficulties, and to assure continuity of the recycling service in Bray, provision of a sum of €1,559,485 for Wicklow County Council has been made under the Waste Recycling Capital Grants Scheme, to be used to fund leasing of the Recycling facility up to December 2013.

The staffing of the facility remain a matter for the local authority.
