asked the Minister for the Environment if he is satisfied that the landfill site at Killacloyne, Glounthaune, County Cork, is being operated in accordance with the European Communities (Waste) Regulations, 1979; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 53 and 69 together.
I understand that the waste disposal site in question is the subject of a permit from Cork County Council under the European Communities (Waste) Regulations, 1979. The conditions attached to such a permit and the monitoring of compliance with these conditions are matters for the local authority within its overall responsibility for the planning and management of waste disposal operations in its area.
