Protest against Dublin Bay incinerator
Saturday, 30 January 2010
About 150 protestors marched outside the Dublin Waste To Energy Project on the Sean Moore Road in Ringsend to voice their opposition to the planned Dublin Bay incinerator.
Members of the various political parties were present, including Fianna Fáil's Chris Andrews, Labour councillor Kevin Humphries and Fine Gael's Lucinda Creigton.
The Residents Against Incineration group is calling on the Minister for the Environment to instruct Dublin City Council to cancel the contract to Covanta, the planned private operator of the incinerator.
