DCC-DDDA & "The Big Lie"

Is this pattern consistent with The Big Lie(b)?

In early June 2008, at a "pre-statutory" or lawyer-driven PR-event, the DCC-DDDA senior project manager appeared to:

• claim to have no knowledge as to how DCC-DDDA(a) now controls large areas of Sandymount-Strand conveniently labeled by a spin machine as "Poolbeg". This is the area of Sandymount on which DCC-DDDA created a toxic dump which compromises the health of residents at Sean Moore Road, and where it now plans the Waste-To-Toxics incinerator to pollute the air with unmonitored poisons and nano-particles. Is this consistent with The Big Lie(b)?
• claim no conflict of interest between a financial player owning equity in the IGB site and the same financial player controlling the IGB planning permits. Is this consistent with The Big Lie?

How come a reporter for the Sunday Business Post provides more truth to the public than the DCC-DDDA senior project manager? Is this consistent with The Big Lie?

Purported Purpose: "to maximise the city population".
Is this consistent with The Big Lie?

Feb-April 2007.

Environment Minister Dick Roche gave DDDA total planning control of large portions of Sandymount-Strand/Poolbeg, bypassing Public Representatives & Bord Pleanala.

• Environment Minister Dick Roche passively confirms premature deaths in Dublin City from the proposed incinerator (TD's Dail Question on Environmental Health impact was dismissed - see Board Pleanala or Dail transcripts).

DCC-DDDA Denies Facts To Public

DCC-DDDA refused to release a paper to the board from 3 October 2006 concerning the decision by the DDDA to bid for the IGB site because it "contains information of a commercially sensitive nature".

• DCC-DDDA refused to release certain files related to its decision to bring massive portions of Sandymount-Strand/Poolbeg under the planning control of the DDDA because it would "cause a substantial and unreasonable interference with or disruption of the other work of the public body".
  

Frankie Kafka could not phrase it better.

Incineration Means 300 Deaths in Dublin?

Since 1999, the air across Holland has become cleaner - except in Amsterdam. The Amsterdam Council says it does not know why. It's pertinent to note that a modern Poolbeg-sized incinerator went into operation at Amsterdam-Westerpoort during the 1990s.

This large modern incinerator has not been ruled out as an explanation for the excess Amsterdam deaths.

Deaths in Amsterdam from air-pollution are thirty percent above the Dutch average. Based on the November 2006 article in the respected Het Parool national newspaper (see below), it appears 300 extra deaths occur in Amsterdam annually from the higher pollution. As Amsterdam's population is similar in size to Dublins it's valid to ask the responsible government department to determine whether the Poolbeg Incinerator will prematurely kill up to 300 people annually. The Environment Minister basically said he was not responsible for environmental matters. Whether his reply was accompanied by the use of two fingers, or just one, is unknown.

Can an Environment Minister not be responsible for managing the impact of environmental air pollution on people? How about even an honest effort to research the issue?

By rejecting the Dail Question from the Dublin TD in early 2007, Ireland's Environment Minister Dick Roach passively confirmed the Poolbeg Incinerator will prematurely kill up to 300 Dubliners annually.

Amsterdammers sterven vroegtijdig door fijnstof

FREEK SCHRAVESANDE © Het Parool, 11-11-2006, 12:23 uur

AMSTERDAM - Tussen de negenhonderd en elfhonderd Amsterdammers per jaar sterven vroegtijdig door fijnstof, goeddeels veroorzaakt door luchtvervuiling door het verkeer. Tot die conclusie komt de Amsterdamse GGD na eigen onderzoek.

De lucht in Amsterdam is de afgelopen zeven jaar niet schoner geworden, blijkt uit recent onderzoek van de dienst, terwijl dat gemiddeld over heel Nederland wel het geval is.

De sterfte in Amsterdam door fijnstof is grofweg dertig procent hoger dan het landelijk gemiddelde. In Nederland sterven per jaar achttienduizend mensen aan die oorzaak, blijkt uit gegevens van het Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu (RIVM). De slachtoffers – veelal mensen die al met ademhalingsproblemen kampten - sterven naar schatting enkele maanden tot tien jaar eerder dan wanneer zij geen fijnstof binnen zouden hebben gekregen. Deskundigen wijzen er wel op dat fijnstof in steden 'nu eenmaal' meer voorkomt dan elders.

De concentraties fijnstof en stikstofdioxide dalen volgens het luchtmeetnet van de GGD al sinds 1999 niet meer - ondanks de introductie van schonere auto's. ''We hebben hier nog geen duidelijke verklaring voor'', zegt Fred Woudenberg, onderzoeker luchtkwaliteit van de GGD. ''Op de snelwegen rond Amsterdam is wel sprake van een dalende trend, maar binnen de bebouwde kom blijven de concentraties nagenoeg gelijk''.

Een 'verrassende' uitkomst, vindt ook onderzoeker Ronald Albers van het RIVM, dat landelijk luchtmetingen verricht. ''Het verbaast mij, want je ziet in heel Nederland een dalende trend voor fijnstof in de lucht. Ook bij onze meetstations aan straten in de Rijnmond, Eindhoven en Utrecht nemen deze concentraties af. Dat geldt eigenlijk voor heel Europa''.
