The Incinerator & Planning: Public Meeting, Thursday 21st September, 8pm
Clanna Gael Fontenoy clubhouse, Sean Moore Park
October 2nd is the deadline for submissions to An Bord Pleanála on the proposed incinerator at Poolbeg. The Dublin South East Green Party has arranged this meeting to assist residents who wish to submit objections. We have lined up a number of speakers to make contributions on various aspects of the planning process and the incinerator proposal, and there will be an open forum for residents and campaigners to discuss the best approaches to fighting the incinerator through the planning process.
If you have not already prepared an objection, we hope this meeting will provide useful ideas. If you have already made a submission, please come along and share your views with the meeting.
Although the incinerator is definitely a political issue, we are hoping that this meeting will focus on the practical aspects of fighting the proposed incinerator.
