Political opinions from the Ballinasloe says NO to Toxic Waste Public Meeting
Channel: Ballinasloe Life
Date: 2018-01-12

To add to the public reaction video we posted earlier about the Ballinasloe Says NO gorup meeting, we also spoke to some of our local political figures.

Councillor Aidan O'Donoghue who along with his other council members were questioned on their lack of knowledge on the submission for planning permission for this Waste Transfer site gave us his opinion on the matter. On the night he stressed to the crowd that the the submission to the county council will only allow the storage of items such as bricks and mortar so the applicant may be planning to build a waste facility however in order for the applicant to use the site as a waste transfer station, a waste license will be required and that there is currently no live application by anyone for such license with the Galway County Council.

Independant TD Michael Fitzmaurice highlighted that county Councillors can be overruled by Chief Executives and said that it is now up to the people of Ballinasloe to stand up and take charge of the situation.

We brought you coverage of the proceedings of the meeting in the comments section of a photo we posted on the night so if you missed the meeting you can check those comments by scrolling down to our post from Wednesday night.
