Yeats 150 - The Second Coming

13 June 2015.  Yeats 150th - Sandymount.

Sandymount Green is busy celebrating the 150th anniversary of Yeat's birth.
At the same hour the honourable Quinn is selling his house on Joyce's Sandymount Strand perhaps to [redacted] - a terrible beauty.

W.B. Yeats: The Second Coming

New Jersey

Sopranos Secret Meeting, FG_Labour Party Fundings:  The Second Coming.

The Soprano's episode begins with asbestos and waste smoking into the air in an area of scrub-land near the Sandymount seashore New Jersey Meadowlands.  A.J.becomes interested in W. B. Yeats' poem "The Second Coming" and reads it in bed. He feels deeply disillusioned with the political and materialist status quo.  He follows the advice of the Drumcondra Mafia boss and goes to the pool to attempt suicide.  Hogan, Quinn and Kenny supply the concrete shoes at 8PM on a Sunday.

DCC apparatchiks held twenty one secret meetings with New Jersey's Covanta. Quinn, Kenny/Hogan met Covanta bosses of bosses during the last General Election.

Strand Road House Sale - Incinerator Views from inside Quinn house

June 2015.

Why would an architect and former finance minister wait to sell till construction met a milestone?

VANDALISM - DUBLIN BAY SEASHORE - MINISTER QUINNS BEDROOM

The incinerator crew is busy pouring concrete even at 8 PM on a Sunday to foist up 150 foot high external walls - creating an Israeli style  "fact-on-the-ground".  They are half way there in this photo from Ruairi Quinn's bedroom.  Chimneys will be 300 feet, on the seashore.

This is awesome architectural heritage for Yeat's 150 year anniversary just days ahead ahead of Joyce's Bloomsday on Sandymount Strand, now buried under the city dump.  Mr Quinn's house is full of sophisticated artworks including a 1916 poster, a James Connolly image and even a Gaynor painting.

R QUINN PERSPECTIVE

STRAND ROAD HOUSE SALE

Architect and honourable retiring Labour leader Ruairi Quinn met Covanta during the last general election and is now, at the half-way milestone selling his house facing the incinerator, complete with views of the bay destroyed by FF, FG and Labour.  What was the understanding during the election?

The agent says the house is for sale as "The Family is Downsizing.    ... but staying in the area .....".
Significantly "The Family" name carefully omitted.   No answer to incinerator questions.  

If true how come the 2nd Sandymount house is away from the incinerator and about the same size? And what about a house in Galway and perhaps others?

Why would an architect and former finance minister wait to sell till construction met a milestone?

Ruairi Quinn Sells Out, Flees Incinerator. Dublin Bay Destroyed.

Property Description:

*** On View - Saturday 13th June 1pm - 2pm ***

Attractive double facing period residence with light filled socialist architect designed red door, a socialist Skoda and with once-delightfull views of Dublin Bay now destroyed by Labour-FG's gigantic incinerator sitting on the foreshore.

23 Strand Road, Sandymount, Dublin 4

€1,300,000             End of Terrace House

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


Now incinerator construction has started Ruairi Quinn is selling his main house on Sandymount Strand for €1.3 million. Being closest to the incinerator Quinn's house enjoys one of the best insights into how Labour & FG are destroying the "visual amenity" of Dublin Bay.   

Outstanding architect Ruairi Quinn and Enda Kenny/Hogan had covert meetings with Covanta senior management during the last general election.   Who knows what they spoke about.   During the election a Covanta agent held golf events at the K Club as legalised vehicles to fund FG's election campaign, with Hogan managing FG's election funds and Quinn managing Labour's election funds.  After winning the election Quinn raced across Sandymount Village in his Skoda to get a suitable bottle to celebrate.

After the election Hogan rewrote laws to enable the incinerator - an incinerator FG said they would stop.  Hogan promoted Mr Tierney from DCC's incinerator team to be head of Irish Water - thats after Tierney wasted €100 million on curious incinerator payments for land and 'consultants'.  After the elction Tierneys daughter got a job with one of the consultants in Perth, Australia.  FG & Labour are funding the incinerator with taxpayer money from bailed-out bankrupt Irish banks and with extorted pension funds.  With a doctorate in Governance Mr Tierney awarded a large water infrastructure contract to Mr [Redacted].  Mr {Redacted} also funds FG and enjoys a €100 Million write-off for the infrastructure company and below-market interest rates.  Money from the installed water-meters will fund bailed out bondholders - such as Mr [redacted] ? 

Ruairi is next expected to swap his socialist Skoda station wagon for a Bentley, as befits a wealthy family with widespread property ownership.  After being fired from the Labour leadership the honest politician can retire to his Galway Tent House.

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.

Are Covanta Shareholders Safe From EU Investigation into Procurement Law Violations for Dublin Incinerator?

Along with other 'strokes' it would appear that Dublin City Council has broken EU Procurement laws concerning the proposed Poolbeg Incinerator.   It would be good if Covanta (CVA) made a full disclosure to the SEC on the matter in order to fully inform its shareholders.

Breaches of EU Public Procurement Rules by Dublin City Council
A formal complaint was submitted on 28 March 2012 to the EU Commission offices.

• The complaint concerns breaches of the EU Public Procurement Directives by Dublin City Council.  

If you are a CVA shareholder you may wish to visit www.fiasco.ie for these PDFs and then ask some questions at the Covanta conference call scheduled for 8:30 AM (Eastern) on Thursday, April 19, 2012 to discuss its first quarter results.  Or simply sell CVA if you conclude the known-unknowns and hassle are too high.

Documents (www.fiasco.ie) 

Below are materials supporting EU Public Procurement Rules complaint:

Press Release - EU Complaint re Poolbeg Incinerator.pdf.
March 2012
PDF

Background Material - EU Complaint re Poolbeg Incinerator.pdf.
March 2012
PDF

CVA owners could also note the costs of litigation in Ireland.  A recently concluded tribunal into other dodgy dealings for another public utility contract awarded by members of the current FG administration took fifteen years and cost $450 Million (€300 Million).   What would Mr Zell say if his senior managers were tied up for 15 years until 2027?


In the USA its illegal for aliens to buy influence from members of congress.  Perhaps CVA owners could ask why Covanta, an alien entity in Ireland, paid money to Ireland's FG before the Irish General Election and ask what they were promised in return for their money.  Covanta senior management held at least one known meeting with two members of the current administration (Minister Quinn; Minister Hogan) during the 2011 Irish General Election.

Other Unlawful Acts by Poolbeg Incinerator Promoters:

Perhaps not unlike Bertie Ahern, DCC and RPS told "untruths" to mislead the public on the Poolbeg Incinerator.  This includes DCC or RPS "massaging" RPS reports.  The Bord Pleanala hearing was also presented with misleading statistics concerning financial impacts.  And with images which by their expensive design mislead the public - spoon-fed to the media they hide the visual impact of the Croke Park sized carbuncle on all of Dublin Bay.  This untruth is from consultants paid in excess of €29,000,000 for engineering work and €25,000 per month for PR spin.

In addition, PJ Rudden who runs RPS's incinerator game & knows better, used the captive Irish Times to state that a modern incinerator will not have any health impact.  That is another untruth.  Whatever about Ireland's other world-renowned institutions Engineers in Ireland deserve better standards from the president of Engineers Ireland, aka The Institution of Engineers in Ireland.

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.

Bishop Hogan's Vingince On Traitor Gormley.

Bishop Hogan remembers that green traitor who voted to make Paddy pay for bondholder gambling in Ireland by the pension funds of Deutsche Bank, Porsche AG, Siemens GmbH, Daimler Benz GmbH and BASF of the cyclone chemicals.  And don't ever again mention the €10,000 and more allegedly paid legally by Covanta to Hogan's FG for a Poolbeg Incinerator Four Ball in the K Club.

Flooding will increase in Ballsbridge once the 'engineers' and 'planners' have finished converting the flash-flood Dodder into a brutalist canal.  Replanting the chopped-down forests in the Dublin mountains and restoring the historic floodplains west of Ballsbridge does not create enough brown-envelope opportunities.

Covanta SEMASS cited for safety violations

By KELLY ONANIAN

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

April 25, 2009 12:00 AM

ROCHESTER — Two years after an explosion caused a two-day fire and led to the discovery of safety violations, the SEMASS trash-burning plant has been cited for four more violations.

.On March 31, 2007, a fire, which burned for two days, broke out at the plant following an explosion in a garbage shredder. That blaze caused $18 million in damage and required the help of firefighters from 36 surrounding towns.

"Mafia" Waste Arrives in Rotterdam Port.

Rotterdam, Jan 23, 2012.

Guess why the site for the proposed Poolbeg Incinerator is in Dublin port.  On 23 January 2012 in the port of Rotterdam work began on unloading the first shipment of mafia controlled waste from Naples   Nobody knows what toxins are mixed in with the so-called "household waste".  Ask the buffalo before throwing your mozzarella pizza in the toxins bin.

Efficient recycling programs have reduced the volume of waste in Holland.  This gives capital-intensive incinerators a problem - the white-elephants have too much capacity.  

So the Dutch incinerators now have to import waste from Naples where the market is controlled by The Camorra. The Dutch also import waste from Britain and will soon do so from Germany.   Holland is already one of the most polluted countries in Europe with high premature death rates from air pollution.  It's also rich and educated.  And has cannibals eating each others flesh on live TV.  Dublin City Council spends €25,000 a month to spin that Paddy should follow the awesome examples of Vienna, Copenhagen and Amsterdam.  The honest apparatchiks in DCC do not distribute this map showing high death rates from air pollution in the EU core.

"WORLD CLASS DUTCH ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE" (TOL POT/ESRI).

Delta NV is a large company owned by the Dutch state.  It operates potentially polluting incinerators in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany under the Indaver brand headquartered in Antwerp.   The Dutch company is building an incinerator in Meath, Ireland, approved by the patriotic Fianna Fail regime.

"... the Indaver group continued to grow its profit by a higher amount than expected. Capacity utilisation was very high at all the major processing plants. Volumes and revenues were boosted by a number of large one-off (clean-up) projects.  Operations in Belgium and the Netherlands, in particular, reported strong results."

Delta's half-year report for 2011 is economic with the truth on the specifics of the "one-off clean-up projects".

Accurate Poolbeg Incinerator Image

In contrast to the cynical and misleading helicopter-views spoon fed by DCC/RPS to RTE and The Irish Times here is an accurate visualisation of the proposed Poolbeg Incinerator.   With dimensions of 200 metres long by 130 metres wide by 52 metres high it would be as big as Croke Park and totally dwarf the already massive whitish-grey power plant building to the left.  

Accurate Image of Proposed Poolbeg Incinerator: 200M x 130M x 52 metres.

(c) T. Plunkett.  Image presented by T. Plunkett to An Bord Pleanala hearing in 2007.  Accuracy validated by An Bord Pleanaála Inspector Thornton.   

The proposed incinerator as large as Croke Park would dominate the foreshore and severely impact "the visual amenity" of Dublin Bay.  The main building would be 200 metres long by 130 metres wide, by 52 metres in height at the highest point.  The chimneys would be 100 metres high.  (Source: Page 10 of Bord Pleanala document PL29S.CH2061/ PL29S.EF2022).

So the main incinerator building would be higher than the chimneys of the grey power station to the left. 


 
Images designed to mislead the public about the proposed Poolbeg Incinerator have been distributed at great taxpayer expense to media in Ireland by Dublin City Council.  

Unknown insiders at DCC have paid English company RPS about €25,000 per month for regurgitated propaganda and spin (RPS).   In excess of €4 million has been exported to date just for the PR spin.  Despite the €4.5 Million total for PR it would seem the Irish people have not exactly been honestly informed about incineration.   It is very curious how this taxpayer money has been used.  

Twenty One Meetings - No Records. Poolbeg Incinerator.

February 2012.

DCC apparatchiks held twenty one secret meetings with New Jersey's Covanta. No records were kept by DCC, they say. If there are no records why has DCC spent €25,000 a month with RPS to massage the truth?  And a few million on lawyers.

RPS & Burning €81 Million on Poolbeg Incinerator

RPS is a mighty fine English business working behind the scenes with apparatchiks at Dublin City Council and with Covanta, a serial lawbreaker from New Jersey.  

Imagine if the Casalesi clan  was running Dublin's waste business and Europe's largest incinerator.  In January 2012 mafia tactics were used by DCC.  Dublin's residents were made an offer they could not refuse.  After 140 years of public service accept a no-prior-notice offer within 10 days from a private offshore waste contractor selected secretly by unknown DCC insiders and pay a large up-front bundle of cash to the offshore contractor operating from a tax haven or your services will be terminated.   Breaking basic privacy and data protection considerations the immune DCC cowboys also gave private data on all of Dublin's residents to the contractor. They even authorised the offshore contractor to collect debts.  Gotta pud food on the table ...  


RPS is dining out and playing golf with the €26 million it's honestly earned so far from the distinguished engineering services it provides for DCC's time servers.  DCC has committed or wasted a further €74 million, not including the cost of lucrative pensions and public service retirement payoffs.


In December 2009 Judge McKechnie ruled that DCC used RPS reports to "massage" the truth.   That sounds like polite language to say that DCC lied to misinform the people.  It's curiously convenient that RPS reports may be used as a facade for credibility by De Drumcondra Mafia, FG's K Club and FF's Galway Tent.   At the time RPS was paid €25,000 per month to create spin for DCC.


At the public hearings on the Poolbeg Incinerator at least one "consultant" in the RPS syndicate used statistics cunningly painted with crayons to mislead the public.   While RPS was being paid €25,000 per month for spin.


RPS also legally acquired a unit of DCC 'communications' employees and made them RPS 'PR consultants'.  Recruiting public service employees is a standard trick used by Covanta (legally).   




In 2010 the Institution Of Engineers in Ireland, hiply branded as Engineers Ireland, issued a report promoting incineration.  The EI report curiously omitted to mention the pertinent fact that the author on incineration was a former incineration industry employee - whilst shouting out other CV data.   


EI's report also curiously omitted that a VP at Engineers Ireland in 2010 and EI president in 2011 is the head of the RPS-Ireland unit contracted by DCC to spin for the Poolbeg Incinerator.  RPS's team has been paid at least €26 million of taxpayers money.  So far.  


If you ask Engineers Ireland about possible conflicts of interest they refer you to their ethics policy without doing anything about answering your question.  The EI president for 2010 said he couldn't comment on the McKechnie judgement as there was a court case pending.  The financial regulator also has no comment.

RTE reports the following (follow link for full report):

The project may be stalled but its costs are still mounting. Dublin City council has spent €81m on the project so far, it got about €4.5m back from Covanta the proposed incinerator operator but most of the spending is from the public purse. Slightly over half the money has been spent on buying land, according to council figures supplied this month to Cllr Paddy McCartan, but €29m has gone on consultants. 

A consortium of consultants led by RPS was paid a healthy €26m in fees so far. RPS say that they don’t get all of that money and that depending on the year, between 40% and 66% of the money they got for the project is passed on to sub-consultants. Under the Freedom of Information Act, however, Prime Time obtained invoices paid by Dublin City Council to RPS dating from mid 2004 to Sept 2011. Some of the spending seems quite extraordinary. In the 16 months after the site work stopped, the council paid RPS over €2.6m, even though the project appeared to be at a standstill. 

For several years the council was paying the PR wing of consultants RPS over €50,000 every two months as a “Communications Retainer.” That retainer continued to April 2011.

Even more extraordinary is that council figures show the PR spend on the project at €4.3m including a dedicated information office. And this €4.3m is separate from the communications fees paid to RPS.
