Gormley calls for politicians to clarify positions on Poolbeg

Green Party leader John Gormley has called for all politicians to state their views on the Poolbeg incinerator in Dublin.

It emerged today that taxpayers could be exposed to financial penalties in the region of €350m - €400m over a 25-year period, if the volume of waste being incinerated there falls short of the amounts agreed in the contract with US firm Covanta.
