>Dear All,

>I have just had a most productive visit to ireland where 8-10 trash
>incienrators are proposed and one haz. waste inc. Ireland has the lowest
>levels of dioxin in their cows milk in Europe and probably the rest of
>the world. With the Belgium scare they are sitting pretty, for the dsale
>of their ag prods...unless they build these incinerators. Thes could be
>a threat to ag, stud farms, fishing and tourism industry. If you know
>anyone in Ireland tell them to help stop incienration there. They will
>be affected wherever they build these facilities.
>
>Two, I need help. Dr.Christopher Rappe is being brought in as an
>"independent expert" to review this situation. We know that Rappe is not
>indpendent, He has represented a number of incinerator venders or has
>given "pro-incineration" advice to communites for a price. I need some
>concrete details on this. Do you know of any community where Rappe has
>pushed incineration and more importantly do you know what kind of fee he
>got??
>
>Rappe is going there on or  before Dec 13, when a major decision in
>Waterford ( you know where  your glass crystal goblets came from!) will
>be made. Actually the incinerator there would be located right next to
>the estuary which is famous for its muscles and fish spawning.
>
>Please forward this appeal to any other listeserve you feel appropriate.
>Thanks
>So anyhting you can get to me before then - or if your prefer direct to
>Louis Courtney who is involved in the battle against incineration - her
>e-mail is lcmc@indigo.ie   will be gratefully appreciated.

>Cheers and thanks
