MOTION NO. 9

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

 That regarding amendment ref no. PA080 amending Section 2.3.4 Waste Strategy of the Draft Plan – the following proposed addition to the text should be DELETED:

“It is an objective of the Council that no commercial or publicly-controlled incinerator other than for industrial processes or health purposes be built in South Dublin.”

REPORT:

Manager’s Response

The Regional Waste Management Plan is the statutory statement of Waste Policy for the county, and provides for the treatment of waste by incineration. SDCC has no proposal to leave the Dublin regional group and prepare its own waste plan. The Council is committed to using the waste to energy facility planned by Dublin City Council once it has been developed. Given the current statutory requirements with respect to waste management that this proposed amendment to PA080 is acceptable.

Manager’s Recommendation

That Proposed Amendment PA080 be revised to omit the statement reading  “It is an objective of the Council that no commercial or publicly-controlled incinerator other than for industrial processes or health purposes be built in South Dublin.”
