McDowell denies rejection of incinerator

JUSTICE Minister Michael McDowell yesterday rejected Green Party claims that he intended to vote against the inclusion of incineration in the Government’s new National Development Bill.

The minister was responding to claims by Green Party chairman John Gormley that he had told a public meeting in Dublin he would vote against incineration.

Mr Gormley said he welcomed Mr McDowell’s long and eloquent speech to the Sandymount and Merrion Resident’s Association against the proposed incinerator for the Poolbeg peninsula.
