Resources Minister George Pullicino told Parliament that risks to public health in the projected family park next to the Sant’Antnin plant were low or non-existent.
He was answering a question by Owen Bonnici (PL).
Mr Pullicino said that this had been established in a Mepa Environmental Impact Assessment before the permit was issued. The area in question had been used as a rubbish dump between 1974 and 1979.
