COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Monday, September 06, 2010

MOTION NO. 12

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

Regarding amendment ref no. PA081 amending Section 2.4.5 Waste Management Plans - that the word 'further' be left in the text so that it reads:

“No further waste-to-energy incinerator or waste-to-energy thermal treatment facility will be situated in the County."

REPORT:

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. The proposed amendment to PA081 is is  acceptable, although there is no waste-to-energy incinerator or waste-to energy thermal treatment facility situated in the County at present.

Manager’s Recommendation

Retain the fourth paragraph in Section 2.4.5 to read:

“No further waste-to-energy incinerator or waste-to-energy thermal treatment facility will be situated in the County."
