Greens call for Dempsey departure

Environment Minister Noel Dempsey is being condemned over allegations that he sought and accepted a donation on behalf on Fianna Fail from a company involved in a bid to build an incinerator in Co Meath.

The Green Party is claiming that Minister Dempsey asked the Irish wing of a Belgian incineration company for money, even thought it had applied for planning permission for Ireland's first commercial incinerator at Duleek.
