Protestors took to the streets of Dublin in a convoy of cars to raise awareness of opposition to a planned incinerator in the capital.
Residents of Ringsend, Irishtown and Sandymount are demonstrating at the proposed sitting of a waste plant at Poolbeg in the east of the city.
Dublin City Council has applied to An Bord Pleanála for approval for the facility which would burn 600,000 tonnes of household, commercial and industrial waste annually.
The motorcade protest of 15 vehicles adorned with balloons and banners travelled through Sandymount and Ringsend, before crossing the East-Link Toll Bridge and continuing towards Howth.
"We believe an incinerator will release potential cancer causing dioxides in to the air of Dublin," said protester Rory Hearn. "We also believe the decision to put the put the incinerator at Poolbeg is anti-democratic. The residents don't want it and the majority of Dublin City Councillors voted against it, yet it was given the go ahead.
"We have not come out to cause any disruption to motorists, we want to raise awareness and carry the message across Dublin that people have two weeks to object to this."
May Kane, of Combined Residents Against Incineration (CRAI), added: "In an area that is already at saturation point with heavy industry, surely the siting of a thermal treatment plant in Poolbeg is nothing short of reckless decision making, that displays a complete disregard for the residents of the locality."
Objections to the plans must be lodged to An Bord Pleanala by Monday, October 2nd.
