Crony News: FG Loots National Pension Reserve Fund For Incinerator

 Sepp Blatter would be embarrassed by the known cronies funding the proposed Stalinist incinerator in Dublin Bay:

• Socialised Irish Banks (AIB, BOI, Ulster/RBS), Barclays, Macquarie Bank: € 250 Million

• Secret investors, equity firms & bailed out bondholders (?): € 150 Million.

• National Pension Reserve Fund.   € 44 Million.

• Dublin City Councils (family home taxes): € 97 Million.

• Environment Department (Labour, FG): € 7.5 Million.

• Covanta (Serial US Lawbreaker): € 150 Million.

Per head Germany has ten times as many expert consultant doctors as Ireland.  Even the UK has a multiple of Ireland's numbers of nurses.  Hundreds of millions of taxpayer money that could fund hospital consultants and nurses is instead being used to fund a US lawbreaking incineration company.  Any profits will be exported via Luxembourg.  Health impacts from incineration will be socialised.

Criminal bank Barclays has been fined $ 2,500 million for multiple illegal activities.  Anglo-Irish, AIB and BOI are bankrupt Irish banks funded by taxpayers - their 'accounts' present a legal but totally false picture of their under-water assets.

FG's Kenny/Hogan and Labours Quinn met Covanta during the 2011 general election campaign.  The FG & Labour election organisers apparently received funding from a Covanta agent.  After the election Kenny-Hogan and Quinn met Covanta's wishes - permits and bank funding.  The debts of these banks have been socialised and paid for by a near-doubling of death taxes from 20% to 35%, VAT to 23%, USC, new family home taxes, new waste taxes/fees, additional water taxes, pension fund looting and hospital finance diversions.

The Known Unknown: What else is Malta resident Denis O'Brien trying to hide?  It is not publicly known if Denis is an investor in the incinerator or whether he benefited as one of the socialised bondholders in Anglo-Irish, AIB and BOI.   Denis now enjoys a near-zero interest rate from AIB for his patriotic investments in water infrastructure and is legally exploiting a €100 million write-off in Siteserv arranged by the FG administration.   To be clear Denis is a man of the highest integrity - check the tribunals.

After burning €100 million on the proposed incinerator Mr Tierney was promoted to Irish Water by FG's Phil Hogan.   A large portion of the €100 Million went to english 'consulting' company RPS.   Mr Tierney's daughter was employed to work on water infrastructure by RPS in Perth, Australia, where nobody would smell a rat.  RPS employees are now on the payroll of Irish Water.  It's all good man Tierney has a Doctorate in Corporate Governance,

 -------------------------------------------------------

From RTE Prime Time:

20 October 2014
 The first major investment by the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund is going to help fund construction of the Poolbeg incinerator in Dublin.

RTÉ ‘s Prime Time tonight revealed that €44m of public funding is going towards the build from the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund – despite the legislation to establish the fund not being commenced.

Ireland Strategic Investment Fund is the new body that is about to take control of the National Pension Reserve Fund.

Official USA corporate filings by Covanta, which is the majority shareholder in Dublin Waste to Energy Ltd, show that of the €500m construction costs- €125m will come directly from the firm- with a further €125m coming from private investment and equity firms.

But €250m core funding is coming from a group of lenders comprising the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund, state-owned AIB, Bank of Ireland, Ulster Bank, Barclay's and Macquarie Bank.
AIB declined to disclose how much money it is investing.

Dublin's four councils have already spent over €97m and the Department of the Environment €7.5m in pre-construction costs for Poolbeg.
With the new €44m in state funds, the Irish taxpayer has committed at least €150m, making it the biggest single investor in the plant.

The National Pension Reserve Fund told Prime Time it was behind the €44m loan.
The Department of Finance said Minister Noonan has no role in such discretionary investments.

Tierney Daughter's Job at RPS

DADDY HAS MOVED TO A NEW PARISH.

Joanne Tierney is the daughter of Mr John Tierney, the gentleman famous for curiously burning €110 Million of public money on the city dump in Dublin Bay at 'Poolbeg'.

Is it curious at all at all that the fine public servant's  daughter is now on the payroll of RPS-water in Australia?  And is it curious Mr Tierney is giving jobs at Irish-water to former RPS Poolbeg Incinerator consultants - especially after being in charge when €22 million in illegal payments were made to RPS?

Meanwhile daddy is now working with Kilkenny buddy Hogan to install water-tax meters in every house in Ireland, a better gig than selling sand to the Arabs.

Obviously Daddy's honourable services to the people of Galway and Dublin are good enough for government work.

Its important Covanta investors know this.
________________
Mr Tierney has a doctorate in governance or advanced business management or something like that from somewhere.  Apparently the EU in Brussels has a view that under Tierney's watch Dublin City Council illegally paid in excess of €22 Million to PJ Rudden's RPS in a dodgy and undocumented illegal contract.  No records.  No spreadsheets. No accounts.  No minutes of meetings. Curious.   

Judge McKechnie made a judgement about DCC management cooking RPS 'expert' reports to misinform the people of Ireland.  

Covanta Using MacQuarie to seek Debt & Equity

Covanta's Sam Zell.  Multi-Billionaire.

How will Macquarie Capital price the risk of Covanta's proposed Poolbeg Incinerator contract being declared illegal by the EU? 


The legal payments to FF and to FG by agents of Covanta and the interference by associated aliens prior to and during an Irish General Election may influence the rigging of the market for waste in Dublin but are unlikely to be as influential with the EU's lawyers. 

From Macquarie's spin department via sparkspread and the Irish Independent:

• Macquarie Capital, Covanta Energy and 'Project Liath'. 
• €350m via third-party equity and senior and mezzanine debt. 
• Covanta plans to invest between €100m and €150m of its own equity

 Macquarie Capital has begun trying to drum up interest in what its marketing literature labels 'Project Liath'. It's trying to help Covanta raise as much as €350m via third-party equity and senior and mezzanine debt. 

Macquarie has already undertaken preliminary marketing and next month (May 2012) it expects to provide a more detailed information memorandum as well as a financial model to pre-qualified parties.

The known risks of investing in a project possibly dictated to officials at Dublin City Council by The Drumcondra Mafia and the disgraced Bertie Ahern are not mentioned.  Such risks include future legal cases to investigate DCC-RPS 'massaging' the truth to mislead the public (Judge McKechnie) and the very dodgy incinerator procurement process which apparently violates EU Law on several fronts.

Moriarty Tribunal, Fine Gael Money & Poolbeg Incinerator

If you give piddling amounts of money to Fine Gael you may gain billions.  Two examples:

• Mobile Phone Licence.  
• Poolbeg Incinerator. 

Fine Gael Money & Mobile Phone Licence
Once upon a time a man wanted a mobile phone licence and Fine Gael was given a lot of money.  Golfing pretexts at the K-Club were used.  The man was not a Russian Oligarch and did not murder 50 managers in any Aluminium Wars nor buy any football clubs, did he?  The Moriarty Tribunal investigated and condemned the carry-on.  The people involved include TD Hogan, humanitarian Dennis O'Brien and fired journalist Sarah Carey.  FF used the Galway Tent.  FG uses the exclusive K-Club.  

After the donations to FG the man was awarded a mobile phone licence for Ireland and became a Billionaire after leaving Ireland because of the capital gains tax.

Fine Gael Money & Poolbeg Incinertator 
More recently Covanta is reported by a newspaper to have legally given at least €10,000 to Fine Gael, either directly or through an estate agent.  Golfing pretexts at the K-Club were used.  The total of all amounts given to Fine Gael are secret.  As are Covanta's meetings during the General Election with Ruari Quinn and Hogan/Kenny, funders for their parties.

The people involved in funding FG include TD Hogan.  And by pure coincidence Sarah Carey - who lied to the Moriarty Tribunal - popped up on Tol Pot's blog to share her deepest expertise on the Poolbeg Incinerator.  After finally conceding the highly esteemed ESRI was biased by its DCC paymaster Tol Pot took the noon stage to Brighton .  In 2009 both RPS and DCC were ruled by Judge McKechnie to have mislead the public by massaging the truth.  But perhaps they were telling no untruths.  Hopefully the President of Engineers Ireland was not simply kowtowing to truthful Bertie.  Its possible the Drumcondra Mafia are among the cute hoors pushing the absurd Poolbeg Incinerator.  Whats another Billion?

Hogan at Tribunal Investigating FG Money & Mobile Phone Licence
(Image: Broadsheet.ie)

Covanta's agent has been rewarded by Environment Minister Hogan.  Immediately after the privately funded election Mr Hogan started rewriting Irish law to create a Stalinist private-monopoly-market for the proposed Poolbeg Incinerator.  Even the Camorra don't have such influence over Naples's waste.

For just a few shillings Covanta now stands to gain one or two Billion, for export out of bankrupted Ireland to a Caribbean tax haven via Luxembourg or The Netherlands.


________________

Its also reported Hogan tried to shut down the Moriarty Tribunal.  And he has also placed a large multimedia message beside the Irish Glass Bottle site threatening people to pay the new 'household' tax specially created to fund the bailout of gambling German and French pension funds.  These gamblers helped Anglo-Irish Bank and DDDA waste €500 Million at the IGB site.

Proposed Poolbeg Incinerator - TV Report

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDNZOSYl970

DCC has wasted €100 Million so far.   If they go ahead they will kill 100's of recycling jobs and export another €900 million to New Jersey and cause the premature ill-health and the premature deaths of an unknown number of people.


The RTE report omits possible lies told to the public by the promoters of the proposed incinerator.  (McKechnie Ruling - DCC "massage" of RPS reports).

The 31 January 2012 segment from RTE Prime Time on the Poolbeg Incinerator fiasco starts just before minute 17.  It runs for about ten minutes.



__________
Mr Pyjamas and Bambi did a no-show for Prime Time.  Perhaps Bambi is hiding out in Brighton with De Heer Professor Tol Pot and PJ is scheming how to further exploit the good name of Eejits Ireland on Clyde Road.

Poolbeg Incinerator could cost Ireland up to $2.5 Billion per year.

The proposed Poolbeg Incinerator will cause up to 300 premature deaths per year, a view not contested by Ireland's 2007 Environment Minister.   The view was framed as a question and was put to the Environment Minister in Dáil Éireann by current Education Minister Ruairi Quinn.  


Doing the sums, based on current US EPA numbers for the cost of premature deaths, the proposed Poolbeg Incinerator could cost Ireland up to $2.5 Billion per year.

The United States EPA claims that by 2014 a new law titled "CSAPR" will prevent 13,000-34,000 pollution-related premature deaths, and yield between $120 billion and $280 billion in health and environmental benefits annually.   [See full article in The Economist, Oct 15th 2011 | ATLANTA |New rules on power-plant emissions invite a host of lawsuits].

This law is opposed by "power companies", a title misused by incineration companies such as Covanta.  Covanta is most likely giving lots of cash to politicians to buy off this US law.  In Ireland its reported that Covanta has bought influence with Environment Minister Hogan at The K Club golf course, FG's Galway Tent.  In the Irish context 'cross-state' becomes 'cross-border' or 'transatlantic'.  Even before the Poolbeg waste-to-toxins factory is built, illegal pollution from repeated-lawbreaker Covanta already crosses the Atlantic from Covanta incinerators to pollute Irish air.

INCINERATOR DIOXINS ALREADY POLLUTE IRELAND

About 340,000 people die prematurely each year in Europe from air pollution.  EU laws are less ambitious on particle pollution than in capitalist America.  In 2007 FF's Environment Minister did not contest the question expressed in The Dail by TD Quinn that the proposed incinerator could cause up to 300 premature deaths per year in Dublin.   All such costs will be transferred to Ireland's taxpayers and their farcical hospitals.  This observation was presented to the Bord Pleanala Hearing in 2007, and totally ignored, a Financial Regulator Best Available Trick.  One director on Bord Pleanala's executive board is an "ex" employee of DCC's English spin-consultant RPS, the outfit which apparently hijacked an Engineers Ireland 'report' to spin for incineration; in other reports it was ruled that RPS and DCC "massaged" information on incineration to mislead the public (Judge McKechnie, 2009).  Bord Pleanala's current chairman has been transferred from Ireland's crony-rich EPA, a facade of non-regulation also laced with "ex" incineration industry stalwarts.

THERE is nothing like a broad new federal regulation to make Jarndyce and Jarndyce seem like a simple dispute over a traffic ticket. As of October 11th no fewer than 36 separate entities—states, cities, power companies, trade associations—had petitioned the United States Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit to review or stop the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from implementing the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR). Eight entities have intervened on the EPA’s behalf. More could jump into the fray in the next month.

The rule at the centre of this scrum requires power plants in 28 states—everything from Texas eastwards, except Delaware and the six New England states, and including Oklahoma, Nebraska and Kansas—to reduce emissions that contribute to ozone and fine-particle pollution in other states. (Other states’ emissions do not have enough of an effect on air-quality in neighbouring states to trigger a reduction.) The rule is scheduled to take effect from January 1st 2012. By 2014 these states’ sulphur-dioxide emissions must be 27% of what they were in 2005, while nitrogen-oxide levels must fall to 46% of their 2005 levels.

CSAPR replaces the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR), issued in March 2005, and also the subject of lengthy litigation before the same court, which found in it “more than several fatal flaws”. The court left CAIR’s provisions in place, but ordered the EPA to come up with a better rule: hence CSAPR. The EPA claims that by 2014 CSAPR will prevent 13,000-34,000 pollution-related premature deaths, and yield between $120 billion and $280 billion in health and environmental benefits annually. Those benefits, the EPA insists, outweigh the costs of implementation; though there may be rate changes for consumers, these should be “well within the range of normal electricity price fluctuations”.

Covanta Buying Incinerator Politicians in Maryland

Buying Influence in Maryland.
Covanta and buddy-company Energy Answers International are legally giving money to Maryland Governor O'Malley in return for permitting a new incinerator.  Just $46,000 is cheap for a $300 million project and they don't even need to pay-to-play the US Ambassador.  For more read The Washington Examiner.


Buying Influence in Ireland.
One of Fine Gael's Galway Tents is pitched at the K Club where its reported FG legally obtained cash from Covanta prior to the 2011 general election.  Don't ask local TDs where the cash comes from for holidays in San Francisco billed as Silicon Valley learning expeditions for the good of The Irish People.  


In 2012 it's expected FG's Hogan will re-write Irish laws to create "certainty" for Covanta's bankers to finance about €300 million for the proposed Poolbeg Incinerator.  In the meantime Covanta is increasing the cash it's returning to Covanta shareholders ($300 million).  Anglo Irish Bank is an example of the certainty created by Ireland's inbred crony cartel.  


Incineration Promoters Use EPA, Bord Pleanala & Engineers Ireland Brand.
Similar to the fired Financial Regulator the directors in these organisations seem to treat their professional employees or members as compliant jackasses.


Labelled as 'consulting', Energy Answers International has paid the former director of EPA-Ireland to spin for it in Ireland.  One trick is to covertly hijack  the Engineers Ireland brand in a report designed by a PR company to create cover for dodgy politicians.  Unsurprisingly  "ex" incinerator industry employees have been stuffed onto the decision making boards of both EPA-Ireland and An Bord Pleanála where professionally qualified inspectors get over-ruled.  


Without any repercussions at least one DCC technocrat has told lies to mislead the public on the Poolbeg Incinerator - google McKechnie's judgement concerning "massaged" reports from DCC/RPS.  The President of Engineers Ireland is from RPS and promotes incineration for DCC.  The prior President of Engineers Ireland claimed not to see an ethics conflict in the covert exploitation by the incineration industry of Engineers Ireland.  The esteemed EI President now plans a media campaign to build the Engineers Ireland brand.  The official marcom project brief will exclude any massaged thoughts about indirectly benefiting the covert promotion of incineration or RPS or DCC.

Another major contributor to Maryland officials has been Energy Answers International, a New York company that is planning to build a controversial [incinerator] waste-burning power plant in Baltimore.

In June 2009, the company applied for a license to build the plant. Over the next two years, Energy Answers, Chief Executive Officer Patrick Mahoney and owner Covanta Energy gave roughly $30,000to the [state Governor] O'Malley administration and Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.

O'Malley in October 2010 praised the planned plant as a national model for green energy. Ten days later, the companies heaped $16,000 on him and Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown through campaign donations.

Covanta Payoff for Funding Fine Gael = Poolbeg Incinerator

FG's Dr Tormented Is Desperately Shilling for Covanta?

Why is a city councillor who claims to be a doctor and "specialist in chemical pathology" not doing his utmost to prevent Covanta operating in Ireland? 

DOCTOR TORMENTED SHILLS FOR CIGARETTES INCINERATORS

By supporting lawbreaker Covanta, Dr Tormented is supporting the export of €900 Million to Covanta in Luxembourg or in the Caribbean.  And he supports the potential billions in health damage done to the people of Dublin.  Luckily any health damage and premature deaths caused by an environmental lawbreaker create a lucrative market for health care professionals.

Its widely reported that a Covanta agent in Ireland legally used The Galway Tent  K Club Golf Tournaments to route undisclosed sums of cash to Fine Gael.  Before the 2011 general election Covanta met with soon-to-be ministers Quinn and Hogan.  So is it any surprise that Fine Gael's Dr Tormented, a lowly FG councillor, is on board with Covanta's needs? 

"we [Fine Gael?] are continually exhorting them [Covanta] to resume construction but it is unlikely that it will happen till next year."- Dr Tormented's Blog.

Everyone knows that international banks and Covanta are mighty fine corporate citizens.  Dr Tormented seems to claim that Covanta needs to be helped in its desperate need to borrow cash from these banks and indicates that FG's Hogan will re-write Irish laws to create "certainty" for Covanta and these international banks in the proposed Poolbeg waste-to-toxins scam.  

Since 2011 Fine Gael has been implementing the traitorous FF policy of bankrupting Ireland by exporting Irish taxpayers money to bail out German, American, Dutch, UK and French banks.  These banks gambled  by investing £520 Billion with Seanie's Anglo-Irish, Allied-Irish, First-National and the rest of the inbred cabal.  The international banks know that corrupt Irish governments will always bail them out.  So where is the alleged business risk for Covanta bankers?

INCINERATORS EMIT INVISIBLE NANOPARTICLES

Covanta, formerly known as Ogden, is a company which has repeatedly and illegally released dioxins and other unknown chemical compounds into the air in New Jersey & Connecticut & elsewhere.  

Why is a doctor who claims to be a "specialist in chemical pathology" not doing his utmost to prevent Covanta operating in Ireland? 

Dutch Incinerator Imports Waste from Naples Mafia

According to informed sources at the ECB, The Grand Canyon was formed from the shock of a Dutchman dropping a Guilder.


The Dutch have a reputation for being frugal. But trading health for money is just cheap.  Helping the Camorra mafia is cheap. 


Recycling is a problem in the Netherlands.  Widespread recycling means Dutch incinerators no longer have enough waste.  In Florida, financial threats from a Covanta incinerator are reported to be a threat to recycling.

Dutch to import and destroy refuse from Naples

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/world/2011/0914/1224304081648.html

PETER CLUSKEY in The Hague

A CONSORTIUM of Dutch waste disposal companies has reached outline agreement with the Italian city of Naples to remove and destroy 250,000 tonnes of refuse a year – potentially ending a waste crisis which has beset the city since 2008.

The refuse will be imported into the Netherlands and burned at the country’s 12 waste-to-energy incinerators which are currently operating at less than full capacity because the Netherlands – despite being the most densely populated country in Europe – does not generate enough waste.

Because of that shortage, the Netherlands already imports domestic and industrial waste from the UK, and has been actively pursuing an agreement with Naples because of the high volume of landfill available.

The paperwork is now expected to be signed before the end of this week.

The Dutch-Italian deal comes as opponents of a controversial €102 million incinerator planned by Dublin City Council for the Poolbeg peninsula, near Sandymount, argue that Dublin does not generate anything near the 600,000 tonnes of rubbish a year needed to make the facility viable.

In the Netherlands, however, waste disposal companies have been trawling for refuse from other European countries in an effort to improve the efficiency of the waste-to-energy plants.

“That’s why we regard this deal as the perfect win-win situation”, says Dick Hoogendorn, managing director of the Dutch waste management association, Vereniging Afvalbedrijven, which negotiated the deal.

“It works for everyone: we hope to solve the refuse problem which has been a big embarrassment and health hazard for Naples for several years – and at the same time we will be generating energy for the Netherlands.”

Despite those benefits, Dr Bendiks Jan Boersma, professor of energy technology at the Technical University of Delft, says the regular transfer of so much mixed waste does inevitably raise legitimate environment and health concerns.

“When you transport so much waste from Italy to the Netherlands you bring with it all sorts of other undesirable things, such as trace elements, heavy metals, perhaps cadmium and mercury.

“The fact is that those substances remain here.”

The refuse crisis in Naples came to international attention in January 2008 after municipal workers refused to make domestic collections because the city’s landfill sites were full to overflowing.

At one point it was estimated there were as many as 200,000 tonnes of refuse piling up on the streets.

As health concerns grew, the government of Romano Prodi called the army in to clear the refuse using bulldozers, a move which prompted angry protesters to clash with police in the city centre.

At the time it was suggested that the Camorra – the local equivalent of the Mafia – was causing at least part of the problem because it had become involved in the lucrative waste-management business and frequently dumped hazardous waste illegally.

Dutch Ports Import 250,000 Tonnes of Waste To Feed Incinerators

"The Dutch no longer produce enough garbage to keep their 12 waste power plants operating at full capacity. The Netherlands is already importing waste from the United Kingdom, and soon a quarter of a million tonnes of Italian rubbish will sail into Dutch ports every year."

- RADIO NETHERLANDS WORLDWIDE 

______________________

The port is why Berty's Drumcondra Mafia choose Poolbeg for their proposed incinerator.   

Dutch To Breath In Mafia's Waste (Poolbeg Incinerator)

Dutch MP Henk van Gerven says:

“If we in the Netherlands have to incinerate less waste as a result of recycling then we should be pleased about this.

It means, after all, that the incinerators can be closed down and the air cleaned up. Carting waste to the Netherlands in order to aid the mafia is hardly sensible.

I don’t think that the Dutch people will be happy breathing in the fumes from the Mafia’s rubbish. Let’s put a stop to this nonsense."

Highly efficient recycling means there is no longer enough waste for Dutch incinerators.


But.
The machines must be fed.
Who ya gonna call?  Lawbreaker Covanta in New Jersey?  Toni Soprano?  Toni Orlando?  The Mafia?  The Camorrah?

Gomorrah
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0929425/

According to Dutch paper Het Parool about eighteen thousand (18,000) people die prematurely each year in the Netherlands from air pollution.   Amsterdam's premature death rate exceeds the national average by one thousand deaths per year.  It is claimed in the newspaper that nobody knows why.  Even Tol Pot at a Dublin 'research' institute funded by the incinerator's promoters denies proof of a link.  


A massive incinerator fired up in the 90's to the west of Amsterdam.  Go figure.














Cheap Dutch Solution: 

• Help out the Camorra mafia in Naples.  
• Pollute Dutch air.  
• Damage health.  
• Kill Dutch people prematurely.  
• Make tax payers pay for massive health care damages.

'DON’T AID THE MAFIA BY BURNING WASTE FROM NAPLES’

http://international.sp.nl/bericht/67942/110815-dont_aid_the_mafia_by_burning_waste_from_naples.html

August 15th, 2011 •

SP Member of [Dutch] Parliament Henk van Gerven is urging the government to reject plans for the import of waste from Naples for processing by Dutch firms. The waste processing companies want to bring some of the rubbish piling up in the Italian city to the Netherlands for incineration.

‘Carting waste around is always unnecessary,’ says Van Gerven, ‘but it is particularly bad if by doing so we are going to the aid of the Italian mafia.

’It is the fault of the Mafia that the mountain of rubbish in Naples has grown so much over the last few years. Organised crime makes a great deal of money by standing in the way of the construction of effective waste processing and via illegal dumping. “The local population is not helped by this sort of solution,” says Van Gerven. “If we take the problem on, the mafia will be able to continue happily on their way, carrying on frustrating processing and dumping the waste.”

Dutch incineration plants have, on paper, an overcapacity which means that they are interested in the Italian waste. During the last ten years numerous incinerators have been built, despite the fact that it has long been clear that demand in the Netherlands itself was getting smaller. “Low-cost incineration of waste is not a sustainable solution to the problem,” Van Gerven insists.

“If we in the Netherlands have to incinerate less waste as a result of recycling then we should be pleased about this. It means, after all, that the incinerators can be closed down and the air cleaned up. Carting waste to the Netherlands in order to aid the mafia is hardly sensible. I don’t think that the Dutch people will be happy breathing in the fumes from the Mafia’s rubbish. Let’s put a stop to this nonsense.
