Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 October 2005
656 Mr. Cuffe asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he has allocated or intends to allocate funding to halt coastal erosion and remediate the old landfill site north of Bray Harbour; the works already undertaken to address this issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI understand that a report has been prepared on the results of trial pit excavations on this site by Wicklow County Council. This has now been sent to Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council for its consideration also, as the facility affects both functional areas. Both authorities are then expected to meet to consider possible options in relation to the site. Generally, the costs associated with remedial measures in respect of closed landfills are a matter for the former operators of the facilities concerned.
