The landfill site referred to is a landfill operated under a waste licence issued by the Environmental Protection Agency. Under the Waste Management Acts 1996 to 2010, licensing powers, including powers relating to a change to a licence, are conferred on the Agency.

Under section 60 (3) of the 1996 Act, I am precluded from exercising any power or control in relation to the performance in particular circumstances of functions conferred on the Agency or a local authority under the Act.
