"During discussions with Minister Gormley, he outlined that this facility will employ over 180 jobs; 85 people on site with a further 100 collecting green bins. I understand that it will have a capacity of 100,000 tonnes per annum."

"It is vital that this government continues to invest in green infrastructure to ensure sustainable economic development, secure future job creation and to provide people with the highest standards in green services.

"The facility has received over €26 million and I am delighted that the Department of the Environment is committed to investing a further €13 million over the next 5 years."
