6 HomeNews THE IRISH TIMES Saturday, September 2 , 2017 Donegal bridges final gaps after all hands on deck flood response Cement firm says fuel would cut emissions Irish Cement seeks to burn waste such as used tyres under 10m proposal DAVID RALEIGH in Limerick Peter Murtagh A move by Irish Cement to change the type of fuel burned at its manufacturing plant near Limerick would cut carbon-dioxide emissions from the operation by 40,000 tonnes per annum, the company has claimed. Closing submissions were heard yesterday at a Bord Pleanála hearing on the 10 million proposal which would see fossil fuels replaced by processed waste products such as used tyres at the Mungret plant. The four-day oral hearing heard that a list of 115 separate waste codes including materials such as animal tissue waste was included in the planning application approved by Limerick City and County Council. Irish Cement plans to introduce, store and utilise up to 90,000 tonnes of alternative fuel per annum at the facility. Opponents of the proposal have raised fears about potentially negative impacts the change could have on their health and the surrounding environment. inBuncrana Council staff and workers acted swiftly as events unfolded rapidly Hughie Devlin watched on as engineers from the Defence Forces worked to install a Bailey bridge across the river Cabry in Co Donegal this week. It is hoped the completion of the job ove the weekend will allow the road between Carndonagh and Quigleys Point to reopen following recent flooding on the Inishowen peninsula. As he monitored their efforts, Devlin, a retired council worker, recalled flooding in the area in 1981 when he saw water from the small river rise an unprecedented 25 yards up a steep bank beside it. When the flooding happened last August 22nd and 23rd, the water was 33 yards up the slope. Never seen anything like it, then or now, he says. The bridge that collapsed as a result of the recent flood surge is known locally as the JFK bridge. It was built in 1965, not long after the US presidents assassination. The JFK was essentially a straightening of the road, bypassing and making redundant the small two-arched stone bridge, known as the crooked bridge because of the bend in it. The crooked bridge is getting a new lease of life now. Truck-loads of gravel which were poured on to it this week by the council and soldiers from 2nd Field Engineers in the Curragh, under Capt Barry Campbell, have built it up, so that the level of the old bridge is closer to the level of the R240 road. Soon, the Bailey, a pre-fabricated structure transported from Kildare, will be slung over the crooked bridge thus reconnecting the severed road and allowing work to start on rebuilding the JFK. This is the first big one in a while, says Campbell regarding the Bailey. Its tricky enough because were bridging another bridge. Madeimpassable The work on the bridge is but one major project to reconnect all four major roads on Inishowen, each of which was made impassable for a time by the recent flooding. And now, all around the affected parts of the peninsula, the clean-up is largely over. The reconstruction work is well advanced, and there is some initial assessment as to how the authorities, and the community, coped with the disaster. By and large, our systems worked and our structures worked, says John McLaughlin, Donegals director of services for roads and acting county manager. But thats not to say that were perfect by any means. You can always do some things differently but we did most of the things right, I would say. McLaughlin co-ordinated the councils response when events unfolded rapidly on the night of Tuesday, August 22nd. He is from Moville near the northeastern tip of the peninsula, and was in nearby Redcastle when the first inkling of prob- Council workers, operating with the assistance of car headlights, sought to cordon off the danger and direct traffic around the hole which, once it was clear people were safe, was twofold fixing roads and getting emergency accommodation. In the Buncrana offices, senior officials Séamus Hopkins and Brendan ODonnell, co-ordinated engineers and road workers. Their initial focus was the R238, the ring road around the peninsula which was severely damaged at Three Trees, but also north of Buncrana at Cockhill Bridge and farther on towards Clonmany. Fewer than 20 families in council houses, including seven on a flood plain in Burnfoot, were made homeless. Some families decamped to friends or the homes of relatives, others were given hotel or B& B accommodation. Gary Martin briefed Seán Hogan, national director for fire and emergency management, attached to the Office of Public Works (OPW). There were conference calls also to the HSE and the National Ambulance Service to alert them as to which roads were passable, and which were not. By late Wednesday afternoon, politicians, local and national, were inquiring to see what had happened. Donegal TD Joe McHugh, Minister of State for the OPW and Flood Relief Kevin Boxer Moran and Minister for Transport Shane Ross were quick off the mark with the latter two visiting the peninsula that evening. We met them, took them around, gave them a tour and then we had meetings that night . . . probably around midnight, says McLaughlin, who described the Ministers as very helpful. On Thursday, McLaughlin briefed elected councillors and, Quigley's Point IL LY Buncrana LO UG H SW R239 LOUGH FOYLE Muff Eglington Burnfoot DERRY Letterkenny DERRY Claudy DONEGAL Strabane lems emerged, initially in Raphoe. It quickly became apparent that Raphoe was not the problem but Quigleys Point, Burnfoot, Buncrana, Illies near the Fullerton reservoir and dam, and then farther north towards Carndonagh. McLaughlin headed south on the R238. I saw water coming out on the roads on places where it never was in the past and running over the top of bridges, he recalls during an interview in the councils office in Buncrana, home to the now defunct town council. When you have severe flooding at night time in the dark, the biggest thing we do is divert people and put up signs, he says. We dont start digging and diverting rivers or pumping with the fire brigade. That doesnt solve it when theres major flooding. As news of the flooding spread on Tuesday night (by word of mouth, radio and online), more than 100 council staff, engineers, workmen, and emergency responders headed for the areas in trouble. Sinkhole One workman driving on the R238 saw what he thought were trees growing out of the middle of the road at a place named, ironically, Three Trees. It was a collapsed bridge, creating a huge sink hole across half the road, which was partially filled with trees that were washed into the void. Council workers, operating with the assistance of car head- lights, sought to cordon off the danger and direct traffic around the hole. Word then began to emerge that Burnfoot, a small village on the other side of the peninsula, was filling up. At this stage, the Coast Guard was brought in as boats and a rescue helicopter service were needed in the village. The fire service joined the effort to help pump the floodwater away. Majoremergencyplan The countys major emergency plan was not implemented because the assessment late on Tuesday and early Wednesday was that matters were in hand. Making that assessment with McLaughlin was Gary Martin, the countys director of emergency services. Expecting a surge of calls, extra phone lines, and the staff to man them, were put on at the councils call centre in Milford and also at Buncrana and Carndonagh. However, in the event, there was no torrent of pleas for help because, along with the council, the community stepped in. People who just do things and ask no questions, as McLaughlin describes them. We have a major emergency plan and the sections, the way it works, were followed however, it wasnt activated. It gets activated when we get into a situation where we cant cope. We call in resources from outside when we cant handle it ourselves. That night, it wasnt that evident.

PHOTOGRAPH: MARGARET MCLAUGHLIN with Martin, decided to seek Defence Forces help with the clean up. Finner Camp in south Donegal was called, following established protocols. Having the troops help to clear debris from in and around houses, McLaughlin says, gave us another strand where we didnt want to put our people, who are trained on road works and all, from the public roads getting traffic and detours set up properly. To take them off, would reduce that capacity. Since then, dehumidifiers and heaters have helped dry out damaged homes but some have been contaminated with a mix of sewage and diesel. While lawns have been sprayed to decontaminate them and soil samples taken, the lasting effect of contamination, if any, may not be known for some time. Costs McLaughlin is reluctant to put a cost on the clean-up and repairs just yet. It will be in the tens of millions, however, and is likely to be announced next week. Apart from the major bridge and road collapses, between 300 and 400 other locations on peninsula have road damages, much of it side rutting where water has washed away support with the result the road will collapse in time. Many under-road drains are also clogged with silt and stones, and will have to be cleared. Donegal staff are far from self-satisfied at the response of the council to the crisis. But there is a sense that an emergency presented itself and the responses from all the players were good. Im very pleased with our own staff, how they moved into action and didnt have to be asked to work over, says McLaughlin. It was a case where all that was required, all hands to the deck, doing the right thing. Alternativefuel Brian Gilmore, head of communications at Irish Cement, said any alternative fuel sources will be tested before being used at the plant, and that it would not be bringing any fuels to site that dont meet the specifications. He said another cement factory licensed by the EPA to use 150 different alternative fuels uses only three including meat and bone meal. While fuel we will take in is derived from waste, we are not taking in [unprocessed] waste, he said. Jack OSullivan, of Limerick Against Pollution, claimed parts of the planning application were incomplete and should be considered as incorrect. If planning permission were to be granted the existing facility would be better described as a cement production plant involving co-incineration of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. The group argued that Irish Cement provided unsatisfactory data in relation to potential Opponents of the proposal have raised fears about potentially negative impacts negative impacts on health and environment, and claimed the proposed plan was not sustainable development. In his closing argument on behalf of Irish Cement, Jarlath Fitzsimons SC said the company had not applied for planning permission for a separate development but rather to change fuels. It is abundantly clear this development is not a waste incineration plant or an incinerator. Irish Cement added that the proposed development would result in a reduction of 40,000 tonnes of carbon-dioxide emissions per annum, with Mr Fitzsimons adding that this has to be be an exercise in sustainability. A decision by the board will be made in due course. Dismissal after faeces delivered to pharmacy GORDON DEEGAN A delivery man was sacked after defecating into a medicines container and later delivering the container to a Limerick city pharmacy by mistake. The details have come to light following the publication of a ruling in an action for unfair dismissal taken by the delivery man John Flood. He failed in his unfair dismissal action against his former employer, Limerick Pharma Logistics at the Employment Appeals Tribunal (EAT). It found, in a ruling just published, that the decision by the company to sack Mr Flood in November 2014 was an appropriate sanction. He was sacked after an incident on April 24th, 2014, that arose from him being unable to control his bowel movements. After making his first delivery of the day in the north Co Cork village of Kildorrery, Mr Flood was en route to his next customer when he got taken short for a toilet and relieved himself of a bowel movement into an empty blue tote that was in the back of his van. Totes are hard plastic containers used by pharmacy suppliers to deliver medicines. Mr Flood said he intended to deal with the contents of the tote when he retuned home. However, he got caught up in other activities and forgot to deal with it and left the offending tote in the van for the evening run when he made the awful mistake of delivering the blue tote containing his faeces to a Limerick city centre pharmacy. Shocked staff at the pharmacy contacted the operations manager of the pharmaceutical firm the drugs had come from via the delivery man, after getting an unpleasant smell from the container. Operationsmanager The operations manager travelled to the pharmacy and opened the tote with a pharmacist to find what Mr Flood had left behind. At a subsequent meeting with his employer, Mr Flood said he suffered from colitis, a bowel condition. He said the condition was under control and he had been weaned off his medication. Mr Flood believed he had been badly treated by Limerick Pharma Logistics and that procedures had not been followed correctly. He felt he had not been issued with any warnings. The tribunal stated that sacking Mr Flood was an appropriate sanction, especially in the context of Mr Floods experience and familiarity with the standards expected by Limerick Pharma Logistics and the firms single client the pharmaceutical firm. Mr Flood was himself a director and shareholder of Limerick Pharma Logistics.
