DCC-DDDA & "The Big Lie"


Is this pattern consistent with The Big Lie(b)?

In early June 2008, at a "pre-statutory" or lawyer-driven PR-event, the DCC-DDDA senior project manager appeared to:
  • claim to have no knowledge as to how DCC-DDDA(a) now controls large areas of Sandymount-Strand conveniently labeled by a spin machine as "Poolbeg". This is the area of Sandymount on which DCC-DDDA created a toxic dump which compromises the health of residents at Sean Moore Road, and where it now plans the Waste-To-Toxics incinerator to pollute the air with unmonitored poisons and nano-particles. Is this consistent with The Big Lie(b)?
  • claim no conflict of interest between a financial player owning equity in the IGB site and the same financial player controlling the IGB planning permits. Is this consistent with The Big Lie?
How come a reporter for the Sunday Business Post provides more truth to the public than the DCC-DDDA senior project manager? Is this consistent with The Big Lie?

Is this consistent with The Big Lie?

Feb-April 2007.

Environment Minister Dick Roche gave DDDA total planning control of large portions of Sandymount-Strand/Poolbeg, bypassing Public Representatives & Bord Pleanala.
  • Environment Minister Dick Roche passively confirms premature deaths in Dublin City from the proposed incinerator (TD's Dail Question on Environmental Health impact was dismissed - see Board Pleanala or Dail transcripts).

DCC-DDDA Denies Facts To Public

DCC-DDDA refused to release a paper to the board from 3 October 2006 concerning the decision by the DDDA to bid for the IGB site because it "contains information of a commercially sensitive nature".
  • DCC-DDDA refused to release certain files related to its decision to bring massive portions of Sandymount-Strand/Poolbeg under the planning control of the DDDA because it would "cause a substantial and unreasonable interference with or disruption of the other work of the public body".
Frankie Kafka could not phrase it better.

___________________________
(a) DCC-DDDA: DDDA and DCC are effectively the same entity, or two-sides-of-the-same-arse to use Scots-Barking MP George Galloway's phrase, and are summarised as DCC-DDDA.

(b) The Big Lie: "Die Engländer gehen nach dem Prinzip vor, wenn du lügst, dann lüge gründlich, und vor allem bleibe bei dem, was du gelogen hast!"
