We’ve done the work and we know the risks

I AM tired of John Ahern of Indaver constantly telling the Irish people to grow up. We have taken the responsibility to research and inform ourselves about the health risks of incineration and the threat to the environment.

We have listened to experts in the medical field and scientists from the US, Canada, The Netherlands and Britain. These include chemical engineers, toxicologists and doctors.

We have contacts with groups in over 90 countries who are opposing incineration, including groups from Asia, South Africa, Germany and Macedonia. We know there are exciting new technologies based on the concepts of zero waste, clean technology and toxic use reduction. These don’t carry the risks of incineration and are functioning in other parts of the world.
