That South Dublin County Council, in conforming to the Dublin Waste Management plan which calls for one incinerator situated at Poolbeg, must also be cognisant of An Bord Pleanála's decision in relation to the Rathcoole Incinerator which in rejecting it stated:
"Having regard to the approval granted under section 175 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended, for the facility at Poolbeg, it is considered that the additional facility as proposed would be in conflict with the integrated approach to waste management for the Dublin region as set out in the said Waste Management Plan and would therefore be contrary to the development plan of the area and to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area"
We submit if the SDCC Country Development plan for 2010-2016 stated that it precluded the provision of incinerators, including incinerators with waste recovery and/or energy production, in the 2010-2016 County Development Plan, that this would provide a clarification of the situation and the County's position. It would make it less likely for incinerator companies to ask for planning permission and therefore spare the Council and community groups the massive expense in time, effort, resources and money in addressing inappropriate proposals. This decision would also reflect the unity of feeling among all community and political groups and would be good for South County Dublin, and a most welcome move.
Therefore in brief, we submit that the manager take the following direction from the elected members in relation to the preparation of the next draft development plan for the county so that is states
"No further incinerators or thermal treatment or thermal energy solutions dependent on the burning or combustion of waste be situated in this County and that such facilities such as incinerators with waste recovery and/or energy production be specifically precluded in the County within the 2010-2016 County Development Plan."
In so doing we are particularly mindful of the spiraling increase in job losses throughout the country, the massive cost to the economy of the recent pork dioxin scare and the importance of protecting jobs in our indigenous equine and Agri-food sectors, which are critical employment and revenue sources now, and critical growth areas for our future.

As a separate motion but complimentary motion to that on precluding incinerators in the County, we also submit the critical importance of enhancing our County's recycling and composting efforts and ensuring that South Dublin does not merely export its waste problem. We therefore submit the following policies be included within the Draft County Development Plan being prepared for South Dublin for the period 2010-2016.
. No contractual obligation over one year will be entered into by SDCC to provide waste to an incinerator - lest it negatively impact our flexibility to move toward more sustainable waste management.
. That the new County Development plan should include aggressive incremental targets to ensure that within the life of the plan - that we achieve the target that: No waste generated within the County that is recyclable or compostable will be incinerated in any location.
We note in so doing that the waste management plan currently takes precedence over the County Development Plan - but this is an important policy statement and expresses the wishes of the elected representatives of the County about how we will adapt to the said Waste Management Plan and behave in a sustainable way. We must find the means and the resources to manage our waste in a cost effective and sustainable way, and charge the county with this target.
