Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Deputy John Gormley)

The European Commission's letter of formal notice referred to raised a number of issues, including the position regarding a waste authorisation for the site concerned. My Department is currently preparing a reply to this letter which will set out a series of actions to address the Commission's concerns in this regard. I expect this reply to be finalised at the end of this month.
