Vol. 550 No. 5

Written Answers. - Landfill Sites.

Paul Connaughton

Question:

136 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to a study carried out by Trinity College, Dublin on the health implications, particularly birth defects in children, near landfill sites in counties Wicklow, Dublin and Kildare; if this study has been published; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9588/02]

While I am aware of a press report in this matter, it is my Department's understanding that the relevant study is incomplete and that no study report has been formally published. Accordingly, any comment in this regard would be premature.
