Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Committee Stage.

John Dardis (Progressive Democrats)

That underlines our general attitude to these matters.

It was stated on Second Stage that there is no such thing as a dump any more – they are all superdumps. The superdump proposed for Kill would have been convenient for Dublin waste, as it would have come as far as Kildare but would have been outside Dublin. I had a memorable experience at a protest meeting against that dump when a person sitting beside me smoked Disque Bleu cigarettes all night. At about 10.30 p.m., I had to ask him to respect my environment yet he was one of the most active opponents of the superdump.
