Vol. 548 No. 1

Written Answers. - Waste Management.

Enda Kenny

Ceist:

114 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the details of the promised ?126.97 million recycling grant proposals for recycling facilities; the method of application and criteria for awarding such grants; when the scheme is due to take effect; when grants will be paid; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3987/02]

I intend shortly, in association with the publication of a new policy statement on preventing and recycling waste, to publish details of a scheme of grant assistance for waste recovery infrastructure. This assistance will primarily support materials recycling and biological treatment of wastes. Projects will be selected for assistance having regard, among other things, to their contribution to the achievement of waste recovery targets, relative cost and demand on available resources.

The timescale for payment of grant assistance will be dependent on progress with the development of approved infrastructural projects.
