The EPA deals with the complaints but the maximum penalty the company suffers for breaching the odour bar set for it is €3,000. The company has been in court two or three times and it has paid the fines, but it is like lunch or pocket money for the company compared with the profits it makes and the money it saves on diesel, location of workers and so forth by being on the doorstep of a big working-class estate such as Ballyfermot. My argument is that it should not be there. It can operate where it wishes but not on the doorstep of an area that is densely populated by families, children and old people who have chronic chest and other illnesses.
