14th November 2003 McDowell says he will vote against inclusion of incineration
in Government’s new Infrastructure bill Statement by John Gormley TD, Green Party Chairman I
very much welcome Minister
a)
The proposed incinerator was a “ready
up” driven by Dublin City Council and the Custom House under Martin
Cullen;
b)
That it constituted mass incineration
and was contrary to the Government’s own policy;
c)
That he would vote against the inclusion
of incineration in the proposed new National Infrastructure Bill;
d)
However, that he would not resign
as Martin Cullen would be happy to see the back of him anyway; e)
and that the elected representatives
in the area needed to work together to get the above information out
into the media. On this final point my constituency colleagues and I
are more than happy to oblige. It is my intention to organise a joint
press conference for the four TDs in the Dublin South East constituency
next week. At the end of the meeting I indicated to Mr. McDowell
that I would work with him on the issue as he had requested, but that
if he failed to honour his pledge to vote against the inclusion of
incineration in the new National Infrastructure Board that I would
come down on him like a ton of bricks. The next few weeks will be
a test of Mr. McDowell’s claim that he was not posturing or doing
