Incinerator Protest

category dublin | environment | news report author Friday February 13, 2004 16:25author by SINN FEIN Report this post to the editors

INCINERATOR PROTEST TODAY

Sinn Féin Representative for Dublin South East Daithí Doolan has urged communities across Dublin to ''participate in today's anti incinerator protest on the East Link Bridge.''

The protest will take place today from 5:30-7pm at Dublin's East Link Bridge.

Doolan called on both the government and City Council to ''reverse their plans for an incinerator for the Poolbeg Peninsula in Ringsend. The incinerator will be a disaster for Dublin on many levels including our health and environment.

Today's protest will give ordinary people an opportunity to voice their opposition to the hazardous incinerator. This protest is part of Sinn Féin's campaign to oppose incineration and to promote an alternative waste management plan.

We are committed to a sustainable waste management plan, not one based on increased consumption and incineration but on the reduction, reusing and recycling of waste. We cannot continue to burn or bury our waste. We must explore other alternatives, that is what our campaign is about.''

Mr. Doolan concluded by calling on the ''Minister for Environment and City Council to listen to the wishes of ordinary people. The bureaucrats need to listen to communities that will be most effected by their plans.''ENDS

As much as i like Daithi Doolan (well from what i see and hear from him through the media), what options are there to an incinerator. I've worked in hospitals where the doctors reckon its a farce that we've to send our hazardous waste to other countries to be disposed of. Daithis constituency is the ideal place to house this incinerator too. Sure if all the amenities come to Dublin why shouldnt the rest of the crap. Build the incinerator now and stop delaying the inevitable.

for my crayon covered wall charts and world maps and stellar charts I'd love to know:-
¿"How many people does it take to interrupt normal functionality of the East Link"?
I ask this question more as one who has long nursed a certain personality quirk that causes great mirth every time the motorist is impeded and some issue of greater social import highlighted, and not may I point out (at great and wordy length) as some type of intelligence gathering nonsense for misguided hooligan elements who have grown up brainwashed by BBC culture and not properly kicking the sliothar, swathing the cumann, and avioding the nastier elements of authority such as paedophile priests, dodgy youth group conveners and of course Gardaí.
It is a most worrying sign of something, that my near raving inanities and mediocre intellectual ruminations are taken so seriously that they represent a generational rejection of Irish Institutional values. It means that I give perhaps too much time to this sort of thing and not enough to writing quality 21st century crucible type next generation lilterature [which as we all know is why I go on to win the Nobel prize].
And it is further a sure indication of the great and perhaps perverse pleasure that I take (as an exile from the blessèd shores of Eire), in offering such constant and quotidien spite in a copyleft format thus encouraging a long and plentiful line of copycat mimicry. It is in fact a kindhearted gesture that allows for many to make quality jokes, write awful shit and thus be popular and of course pay the mortgage.
