Written Answers. - Waste Disposal.
I am advised that the World Health Organisation has not put forward any fundamental objections to the use of incineration as a waste disposal method. The development of policy on waste management including the use of incineration for refuse disposal is the responsibility of the Minister for the Environment and Local Government and the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA.
