380. Deputy Brian Stanley asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the problems at the factory (details supplield) in Tallaght regarding the emission of fumes which have caused the plant to be evacuated on a number of occasions and have caused problems for premises on the same site; and if the Environmental Protection Agency is investigating this matter. [6400/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe site in question operates under an IPC licence granted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The monitoring and enforcement of conditions attaching to IPC licences are a matter for the EPA. All documents relating to individual IPC licences, including inspection information, are available to view on the EPA’s website at www.epa.ie.
Under the Environmental Protection Agency Act 1992, as amended, I am precluded from exercising any power or control in relation to the performance by the EPA of its licensing functions in specific cases.
