In so far as the hazardous waste incineration facility is concerned, I would refer the Deputy to my reply to Question Nos. 21, 23, 26, 38 and 190 of 14 November 1989.
The legal measures necessary to complete the transposition into Irish law of the EC Directive on Environmental Impact Assessment will be finalised shortly.
