New dump in North Dublin

delly

Does anybody know exactly where this new dump in North Co. Dublin is going to be? Its mean't to be in an area called Tooman, but i ain't got the foggest where that is. I presume somewhere near Balbriggan.

*Q lots of 'North Dublin' dump jokes*

Tooman is at LUSK

That answers that then, Thanks.

Pretty disgraceful that just as they're closing one dump in Lusk (Baleally), they're going to open another one. I notice that of the eight proposed sites for the dump, five of them were in Fingal - god forbid that south County Dublin house their own waste - or are all the illegal dumps in Wicklow full at this stage?

Between this 350 acre dump and the proposed relocation of Mountjoy prison and the Central Mental Hospital to another 100 acre site nearby - not to mention the rampant rezoning of every green site they can get their hands on, Fingal Co Council and the powers that be are really doing their best to ruin my part of the country.

They say we get the government we deserve, but I don't know what we did to deserve this shower.

North County Dublin already is a dump isn't it?

Well some people get dreadfully testy about money being spent on waste processing, so I guess they're limited by that.
Landfills don't permanently ruin an area anyway. I've seen fields and houses on what was once a landfill, and you'd never have thought it if you weren't told.
At the moment bin men working on the northside have to dump their rubbish all the way out the other side of the city at that place near Tallaght. That's pretty wasteful. They need a dump on the northside.

They should make one giant dump, put all the garbage from the world in it until it is a giant mountain range, and make a ski resort.

East Point Business Park is all reclaimed land!!!!...sometimes there's a STINK from the methene...they have little vent things by all the buildings to release the gas - if they got blocked then the gas would build up and it might explode...ahhh I live in hope that one day i'll get a call telling me not to come in cos the building exploded! :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

I live about 10 miles from there. I've been trying to get a green bin for the last 4 months (when I moved there), to no avail.

Shot in the dark here but could it be voting for them?

A few posts in this thread have gone missing since yesterday - any idea why?

I hate to disagree with you there, but yeah they do. The smell can be awful as tk123 pointed out. More worrying though is that your shiny new house (which you're paying through the nose for) can subside over time as the sh`te under your house moves about.

Hands up who would buy a house which they knew was built on a landfill?

FX Meister

Eastpoint does stink a bit and sometimes times it's unbearable. But I think a lot of that is due to the digging works for the port tunnel. I wouldn't want a house on landfill ground myself. And surely people who have bought houses in Lusk are at risk of their house going down in value due to the dump nearby.

Is there not plently of green fields in North Dublin while South Dublin pretty much extends into Wicklow?

Well done. I'd say that was a toughy to think up?

ok maybe it's not the methane that smells but there's def a stink at times - especially as FX says when they're digging the place!! ANYHOOS tony if i collect some samples and raise a bribe from my workmates do u think u could close the place down for us???

tony 2 tone

Any where where there is digging going on there always seams to be a bad smell. Abbey street was ****ing terrible.
To get tests done in my place aint cheap though, starts from a couple of hundred notes. Think your best bet is to blow the place up your self.....some barrels full of fuel oil and loads of fertilizer would do the trick..........

So you would buy a house built on a former landfill?? I wouldn't.

And I don't think it's right that another landfill should be built in North County Dublin, I think it's South Dublin's turn. We don't need another one.

Talk about dragging up the rubbish from nearly two years ago.

Hey it was a difficult joke to 'get'! I don't just laugh at any old thing, I like to give it some serious thought -- 2 years is usually enough -- before I respond
