A telemast, an incinerator, a waste treatment plant, turfcutting rights and sewage sludge spreading Nearly 80 local residents met last Monday at the Red Fox Inn in Glenbeigh, Co. Kerry to form a committee to protest against a proposed Hutchinson 3G broadband-enabling mast on Coillte land at Ballintleave. The committee is to hold a protest close to the proposed site on Friday evening. (Kerryman (sic) 8/7/09, p. 7).
John Gilroy of College Proteins has written to the local bishop asking him to instruct a local priest to withdraw comments he had made at Mass at Meath Hill on June 21st calling for people to submit objections to the proposed College Proteins incinerator at Nobber, Co. Meath. (Cavan Post 14/7/09, p. 10).
Following a meeting last Monday the Foynes Community Council (FCC) has decided to object to a plan by Greenport Environmental Ltd., a subsidiary of Mr. Binman, for a treatment plant for up to 50,000 tonnes of organic waste at Foynes, Co. Limerick. FCC has already appealed another plan by the same company for a compost plant at the same location to An Bord Pleanala. (Limerick Leader 11/7/09, p. 10).
Local residents concerned over the issue of turfcutting attending a meeting in Ballyconnell, Co. Cavan last Thursday were encouraged that among the attendance were people who had traveled from Galway, Roscommon and Monaghan. Speakers from the floor suggested the various groups campaigning in different counties should unite to make the issue a national one, while others suggested the issue should be raised in the context of the second Lisbon referendum. (Anglo-Celt 9/7/09, p. 9).
Meath County Council has responded to College Proteins’ second application for a meat and bone meal incinerator at Nobber, Co. Meath by recommending to An Bord Pleanala that it should request further information on the proposal, including issues of water and waste water management. (Meath Chronicle 11/7/09, p. 3).
Vincent Maloney from Enniscrone. Co. Sligo, chairperson of the Independent Farmers’ Federation, citing health concerns, has called for councils to ban the spreading of sewage sludge from municipal waste water treatment plants on farm land under River Basin Management Plans. (Sligo Weekender 7/7/09, p. 12).
