View answerKildare County Council took over responsibility for the management and remediation of the site from the Environmental Protection Agency on 29 May 2015, allowing for the remediation process to commence. The Council will be making application for planning permission and a waste licence in the coming months. It is important to note that this is a significant multi-annual project in both environmental and economic terms. It is likely in that context that the full remediation process will run to between five and seven years.
