Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 June 2016
193. Deputy Eamon Ryan asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if the remediation works carried out on the former Irish Glass Bottle site have identified all the chemicals on and being released from the site, including methane; and if the current contamination levels are safe or if further remediation works are necessary.

Amharc ar fhreagraI have no function in relation to the matters raised in this question. Notwithstanding the role performed by the Government in the designation of this general area as a Strategic Development Zone, it is subsequently a matter for the relevant development agency (in this instance, Dublin City Council), in consultation with landowners, including the National Asset Management Agency (NAMA) and the wider community, to prepare a planning scheme within which all the matters raised in the Question must be addressed, including carrying out relevant environmental assessments. Furthermore, a decision on a planning scheme may be appealed to An Bord Pleanála.
