Long-term asbestos storage location

Summary

Burke says storing asbestos in greater Dublin is inappropriate and calls for sites in less densely populated areas. Doyle agrees Dublin is not ideal for long-term storage and says a suitable location must be identified.

Ray Burke Mr. R. Burke Fianna Fáil

The Minister will be aware that some of this waste is being stored in the city area of Dublin. Will the Minister accept that the storage or dumping of asbestos in the greater Dublin area is an inappropriate step? Will the Minister agree that the best way to deal with this product is to have a number of sites around the country where the population is not so great?

There is no evidence of dumping but I agree that in the long term storage in an area such as greater Dublin is not ideal. Indeed, a suitable location will have to be identified and used for the long term storage of this waste.
