PM 10 Air Pollution Kills

Air Pollution may kill 12 times more people in Poolbeg than in Tallaght or Clondalkin.
If Poolbeg pollution increases by just 20%, from 50ug/m3 to 60 ug/m3, then at least 26 times more people will be killed in Poolbeg. Hopefully DCC’s solution is not to kill more people in [...]

Toxic Slag Permitted by Mr. Gormley’s DDDA At Nature Site?

DCC’s sewage factory stinks and wastes tens of millions of emergency tax-payer cash, signed for by Mr J Gormley in November 2008. Whether this unforseeable situation is due to corruption or bad engineering by DCC is an open question. However DCC is used to [...]
