Vol. 576 No. 5
402 Mr. Gormley asked the Minister for the Environment Heritage and Local Government if his Department has received complaints regarding emissions from a plant (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29668/03]
405 Mr. Gormley asked the Minister for the Environment Heritage and Local Government if his Department is in possession of an EPA report on a plant (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29663/03]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 402 and 405 together.
Emissions from the plant in question are regulated by an integrated pollution control licence issued by the EPA and, as such, any emission related complaint would be a matter for the agency.
My Department has received no recent complaints in relation to this plant. Earlier correspondence was received over a period up to and including April 2001 in regard to the plant and to air quality in Leixlip more generally. Following inquiries by my Department, the EPA in March 2001 indicated its satisfaction with air quality in Leixlip, and confirmed that it had received many queries over a period of time from one person.
