Incinerator will be the largest fag of all

WITH Bord Pleanála hearings ongoing, I would like to make several points about the proposed incinerator.

Indaver tells us that incineration is the best way for Ireland to deal with its waste problem even though, as many people have pointed out, the option of incineration is a disincentive for waste reduction.

The company promises that the trucks carrying hazardous waste estimated at 2,000 daily trips will be run outside rush hours to avoid traffic congestion. This almost guarantees there will be no such thing as non-rush hour, on a road that should be a dual carriageway for the level of traffic it already carries.
