Billionaires' Horses Better Than Ringsend Knackers

Billionaires' Horses Are Better Than Ringsend's Knackers

Obviously Billionaires' Tipperary horses are more valuable than wife-beating Ringsend knackers.

Tiny Tipp Incinerator beside a few Billionaires’ Horses: Not Approved.
Huge Waste-To-Toxins Incinerator beside one million People: Approved.

___________

Executive Board of An Bord Pleanala,
Four Seasons Bar.

Sean:
We've used the best-paid political scientists to pre-approve the Banana Republic's Biggest incinerator smack bang in the centre of a city with one million people. EPA-Ireland will supply the where-else-can-we-earn-a-crust-after-public-service professionals to "monitor" the toxins - they might show up just a few times a year with their jam jar.

The Galway Tent's horses are more valuable than those Ringsend knackers. Sure they are already sick from the local toxic dump and can't prove nothing because according to our PR, they all smoke!! And we killed the dangerous idea of a human-health baseline study in Ringsend. Especially in Legoland opposite the glass recycling factory where we fired 350 locals to make way for DDDA's empire!

Seamus:
Now then, how do we stop the small incinerator beside our Billionaires' stud farms?

John Gormley:
I can say nothing, in public.
In public, I am restricted by the legislation.
Even my secret meetings with Covanta are reported by The Indo.

John Gormley:
Am I in the tent? ... Please ... I'm not just a Little Green Man ... Please ...

Sean:
John, we'll get back to you. Now just feed our usual press release to the Irish Times section of The Galway Tent.

The decision to refuse planning permission for a waste facility plant (waste-to-toxins incinerator) in Co Tipperary has been welcomed by the country’s leading racehorse trainer Aidan O’Brien.

...

Tipperary South TD Tom Hayes also welcomed the decision saying the plant would have been totally unsuitable for the area due to its scale and potential damage to the local equine, agricultural and tourism sectors within the region.

Lawyers for John Magnier’s Coolmore group had argued that the site was "wholly unsuitable", and insisted that the facility "would be prejudicial to human and animal health".

Incinerator plans scrapped [Scotland, April 24, 2008]

Waste incinerator plans scrapped

PLANS to build a massive incinerator in Renfrewshire have been scrapped.

The proposals were to create a waste-treatment plant, capable of burning 140,000 tonnes of rubbish a year, in Linwood. But after announcing a U-turn, council bosses have promised to reduce landfill by increasing recycling.

The move follows fierce public resistance to the project, and the Scottish Government recently declaring its opposition to large-scale incinerators.

Incinerator plan up in smoke [USA, April 23, 2008]

Waste-to-energy incinerator plan goes up in smoke

By Associated Press

HILO, Hawaii (AP) _ A proposal to build the Big Island's first waste-to-energy incinerator appears dead. The end comes after Hawaii County spent 1 million dollars and a decade selecting the company. The council's Finance Committee is composed of all nine council members. It voted 6-3 against hiring Texas-based Wheelabrator Technologies Incorporated. Council members expressed concerns with the estimated 125 million dollar price tag and fears the technology was outdated. For the measure to survive, two of the council members who voted against the proposal must reverse their decisions when it goes before the nine-member council May seventh. Mayor Harry Kim and the Hawaii Island Chamber of Commerce provided testimony in favor of the incinerator. (Copyright 2008 Associated Press. All rights reserved)
