Limerick next for the toxic treatment?

I WAS saddened to read the report of a suggestion that now an incinerator might be built near Limerick city to burn the household waste from Limerick, Clare and Kerry (Irish Examiner, December 21).

Has Co Limerick not go enough environmental problems already? As well as the problems with cattle and human health in Askeaton, and the acid rain emissions from Moneypoint, is the county now also going to landed with a huge incinerator?

If this incinerator ever gets built it is quite likely that its licence will be similar to those for the municipal and toxic waste incinerators planned for Ringaskiddy. Each of these is allowed to put dioxins, furans, lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium and other chemicals into our air.
