I am aware of the issues the Deputy raised as we share the same constituency, Clare. I assure him that there are specific scientific criteria to which the members of Dúchas must adhere. They are professionals who do a job and compile a report.
The site at Kilmaley was one of the sites put forward by the county council as a possible location for a dump. On examination, it was discovered the site had a number of monuments, therefore, it was not appropriate to locate a dump there. As regards Inagh, I agree with the Deputy that local knowledge is important. He made reference to a cillín, which is a children's grave. It was brought to my attention by the local residents that there may be a cillín on the site proposed for the dump in Inagh. As a result, I asked Dúchas to make the necessary inquiries, to look at the site, to make its scientific assessment of it and to report to me. It told me there was no evidence of a cillín. It recognised that the local people believed there was a cillín but it said it did not believe one existed on that site.
