Wicklow County Council Condemned
Republican
Sinn Fein in Wicklow wishes to highlight an issue which has been
brought to our attention in recent weeks. Residents and visitors of
Wicklow town have approached us at their wits end with the
unsatisfactory situation at hand.
The quays and piers in the town are very popular among tourists and locals alike. Walkers, sailors, fishing enthusiasts and people who just come to take in the areas natural beauty are among the many people who frequent the area daily. However this popular area is being tarnished and polluted at the hands of inept local authorities.
The port for a considerable time now has been exporting "refuse derived fuel" to Germany. At one stage 1,800 tonnes of this waste were being stored in the port. Foul smells from the quay have been reported by many people in the area. Local councillors last January claimed "these smells have been eliminated". However this is a total fallacy. People frequenting the area are often been forced to leave with the foul smell.
Wicklow County Council have "passed the buck" so to speak, to the EPA in regard to the policing of the waste that is stored in the port. They have been tasked with "minimising the odour in the port". Clearly they are not fulfilling their brief in this regard and they are causing serious damage not just environmentally but also economically to the area. Tourists and visitors are not staying around and in turn they are not spending their money in the town.
Ironically, just a few miles outside the town a landfill which accepts 150,000 tonnes of waste each year, is in operation for the last number of years. Also causing serious odour problems. We of Republican Sinn Fein in Wicklow ask the question "is it fitting to call Wicklow the garden of Ireland anymore?". A county which boasts amazing natural beauty is been let down badly by those who claim they are there to protect it.

La Gran Madre es Real ... Soy Aisha Kun y quiero testificar sobre la Gran Madre cómo me curó de las ayudas para el VIH. Me diagnosticaron esta enfermedad hace algún tiempo y estaba preocupada. Cuando estaba buscando en Internet una cura, me encontré con algunos testimonios de la Gran Madre de cómo ella ha ayudado a mucha gente y decidí contactarla para obtener información y explicarle. Ella se rió y me dijo que me ayudaría y me sorprendió. Ella me envió la cura y era un aceite espiritual sagrado y agua que es más que una medicina. Ella me dirigió sobre cómo tomarlo y lo hice. Tomé la cura durante 3 semanas y fui al médico para un chequeo y para mi gran sorpresa, la enfermedad ya no estaba en mi sistema. Estoy muy contenta y quiero agradecer a la Gran Madre por ayudarme. Póngase en contacto con ella ahora en su correo electrónico: Greatmotherofsolutiontemple1@yahoo.com también puede comunicarse con ella en su número de whatsapp +17025514367. Si tiene alguna enfermedad, ella puede ayudarlo. Contacta con ella ahora
