Residents force project closure

Latest disaster for the tunnel is ignored by the mainstream media .

All work on the Port Tunnel at FAIRVIEW PARK has stopped .This follows threats from the surrounding community to blockade the job. Rather than face the bad publicity the city council has shut up shop since last week , and no indication of when it will start again . Despite the complete stand still , no doubt costing thousands of euro , the mainstream media have not covered the story.

The threats from the people in EAST WALL and NORTH STRAND are over the way FAIRVIEW PARK is being treated. Waste from the old city dump in EAST WALL is being used to fill the big hole in the park on top of the tunnel. This dump was used for hospital and laboratory waste and this is being used. Two playgrounds will then be placed on top of this. People saw syringes and other dangerous material being used.
All work is stopped, with no idea when it can start again. By trying to save money using this waste instead of proper clay and causing a delay fighting with the locals they will have wasted even more money.

Who are these people answerable to?
