Dublin City Council commissions bogus ESRI report on Incineration - clueless gimps!

[wombat]

The obvious logic in the regional waste management plan was that Fingal would provide the landfill for inert and other residual waste (including incinerator ash), whereas the city would provide the incinerator. We have landfills left, right and centre out here in Fingal. So, it's time Dublin city stepped up to the plate.

Dun Laoghaire could take builders rubble and store it at the Baths until they agree on what to do with them.

The D4 residents will be thrilled that trucks will be coming from all over Ireland to incinerate waste. Is that good for carbon emissions

Gormleys attack on the ESRI is typical of the Green party strategy to avoid all responsibility.

This Green Robspierre is utterly indifferent to the potential legal claims in millions that the state will be exposed to should he get his irresponsible way on this incinerator.

That sounds like a perfectly compatible position to me. If it is indeed as you outline above. One can explore the possibility of something, and then be against it.

You're drowing a bit here, old chap.

There seems to be an inconsistency between your fist and third sentence.

It seems to me to be a rational thing to explore what something might be like or what its impact would be and having done so come to a conclusion that it would not be best.

In any event the issue here is one of location rather than method.

Snow & Waste aren`t in the same portfolio

Snow good...............waste bad

And it will cost taxpayers a fortune, please do not insult Robespierre by comparing him to Gormless!

Cowen must push on with incinerator - Times Online


From The Sunday Times February 7, 2010

Cowen must push on with incinerator

"It is time for the taoiseach to intervene in the increasingly messy and expensive row over the construction of an incinerator in Poolbeg. Why? Because his environment minister, John Gormley, is hopelessly compromised on the issue and his self-serving meddling could eventually cost the state hundreds of millions.

Mr Gormley admitted last week that he had a “No Incinerator” sticker in the front window of his house. The incinerator in question is not the private facility being built in Meath, of course. It’s the one about to be constructed near his house in Dublin South East.

Mr Gormley’s tenure as a TD in that constituency has long been fragile — for example he was the last deputy to make it past the winning post in 2007. The incinerator is the most contentious local issue and every politician in Dublin South East has decided that loud and ostentatious opposition is in their electoral best interests. This is essential political context in analysing how Mr Gormley has dealt with the waste-treatment facility since he came to office. He dare not go before the people of his constituency again unless he can show that he moved might and main to stop it."

It's amusing to note that until this row broke out the Greens had nothing but the highest regard for the ESRI. Take a look at the GP website...

In December, Gormley was defending the budget measures in the Dáil with:

And that is completely in line with recommendations from independent expert groups such as the ESRI...
