Vol. 406 No. 3

Written Answers. - Provision of Tip-Heads.

Theresa Ahearn

Ceist:

213 Mrs. T. Ahearn asked the Minister for the Environment if he will outline the financial allocations of his Department to local authorities for the provision of tip-heads; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As stated in reply to Question No. 171 of 12 February 1991, Official Report Volume 404, No. 9, Column 2338, the disposal of domestic wastes has always been the responsibility of local authorities and I have no proposals to change the position.

Grants of up to 50 per cent are available from my Department to local authorities towards the capital costs of providing co-disposal facilities, which would cater for industrial as well as domestic wastes.
