I propose to take Questions Nos. 165 and 166 together.
My Department has not received any complaints in relation to the disposal of sludge from waste water treatment plants by the company in question. Where such a complaint arises, it would be a matter for the relevant local authority or the Environmental Protection Agency, as appropriate, to investigate.
Following enquiries by my Department, I understand that Meath County Council received an anonymous complaint in relation to the company in question, and the Council satisfied itself, an investigation, that the material in question, the subject of the complaint, was properly stored and addressed. I understand that no complaint has been received by Longford County Council.
