Emissions from the Money-point plant
Brady urged action to prevent the plant’s emissions from polluting other countries. The Minister said Ireland produced less than 1% of emissions and warned that controls could impose heavy costs on industry.
It would appear that we obtain a sizeable amount of Trans-local pollution in the country. Should we not try to set an example to other European countries by not being seen as a country that would in effect subscribe to acid rain through prevailing winds to the Scandanavian countries and to Scotland? That is my point in talking about the Money-point plant. I ask the Minister to do all he can to ensure that emissions from that plant will not pollute other countries?
