THE ENVIRONMENT DESTRUCTION AGENCY.?

THE Environment Protection Agency was accused by An Taisce Chairman Frank Corcoran of rewarding those who dump illegally.
Mr Corcoran said that instead of the authority issuing a demand that illegal dumps be removed, the EPA is allowing them to become official dumping sites.
"Even if criminals choose to dump on an aquifer, which is an underground store of drinking water for the local community, or beside the Poulaphouca Reservoir in Wicklow, or on the spawning grounds for salmon on the river Slaney, or on protected landscapes such as Special Areas of Conservation - the Environmental Protection Agency, rather than insisting that the illegally dumped material be removed, is now considering rewarding the landowners with lucrative licences to turn them into licensed dumps," he said.
He also accused the EPA of failing in its duty to monitor the paperwork on the disposal of hazardous medical waste.
In a public lecture in Wicklow Mr Corcoran criticised the environmental body for ignoring international best practise in relation to waste management in favour of outdated nineteenth- and twentieth-century techniques of dumping and incineration.
"Local communities can choose themselves to embrace the New Zealand model of sustainable waste management, involving maximum recycling, the phasing out of dumps, and non-reliance on incinerators," he said.

it might be useful to focus on the actual dumpers themselves as well as the government in this case. Normal Joe public must accept a lot of the responsibility for the disgraceful state of the countryside, dumping black bags, fridges, mattresses etc. in adddition to refusing to cooperate with county council refuse collection and non payment of fees.
How exactly do you propose we "embrace the New Zealand model of sustainable waste management" if noone is willing to pay for it.
Fianna Fail didnt dump those black plastic bags in the picnic area, and they sure as hell didnt pay some dodgy guy in a van to take away all their garden hedge clippings. People need to take responsibility too!.
