asked the Minister for the Environment if he will arrange for a health inspector from his Department to check the operation of a company (details supplied) at Tallaght, County Dublin with particular reference to the emanation of white smoke from the plant which is a nuisance in the vicinity and which gives rise to fears of lead pollution; and if he will report on his findings.

It is a matter for Dublin County Council as the local authority for the area to decide on any checks that may be necessary.
I understand from the county council that following a recent meeting with representatives of the firm operating the plant, monitoring arrangements for the gases emanating from the plant have been agreed upon. This monitoring will enable the county council to establish whether grounds for complaint exist, and whether any remedial action is called for.
