At public meeting in Dublin planners hear concerns about smells from €500m plant

Elaine Donoghue Jones, who lives on Clonshaugh Road, some 300m from the proposed plant, said she was concerned her children’s health conditions would be worsened by the plant. Her son is asthmatic, while her daughter suffers with a condition called Tuberous Sclerosis Complex, which can lead to growths on the heart, lungs and brain. The child already has epilepsy brought about by the condition.

“It will have a detrimental effect on the value of our property,” she said. “Why should one small community bear the brunt of sewerage treatment for enormous current and future developments?” She also criticised Irish Water’s submission on the impact of noise, which noted that the area is already subject to noise pollution from the airport and nearby main roads.

Schoolboys James Blake and Jack Doyle, who were accompanied to the hearing by Mr Doyle’s aunt, told the An Bord Pleanála inspector of their concerns about the project. “You won’t be able to walk on the beach or in the park without holding your nose because of the smell,” Mr Blake said. “We in the area will be exposed to terrible smells and great pollution in our area and homes,” added Mr Doyle.
