Poolbeg Incinerator
Conclusion
Our submissions on cost and greenhouse gases suggest that incineration is not the best available technology for handling waste in Dublin and therefore the original decision for deciding on incineration should be reviewed.
The proposed development will be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area and of the world.
The proposed development will seriously injure the residential amenities of property in the vicinity (Sandymount, Irishtown and Ringsend in particular) and will result in a devaluation of property in the area by reason of the proximity of the proposed massive industrial development to existing housing stock in the area
The proposed development will have a negative impact on the health of the community.
