More controls likely to be sought at ex-gasworks

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2001 / February 26 2001: More controls likely to be sought at ex-gasworks

The Eastern Regional Health Authority is expected to press for more stringent safety precautions in the work under way to decontaminate a 20-acre former gasworks site at the Grand Canal Docks in Dublin. Officials are to meet senior executives of the Dublin Docklands Development Authority (DDDA) this week following complaints by local residents that emissions from the site are causing headaches, sore throats, skin irritation, streaming eyes and nausea. Mr John Gormley TD (Green Party) said he had been informed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that work was to cease until proper controls were put in place to prevent the escape of the gases, which were causing problems for local people.
