Poolbeg from Sandymount Strand, Dublin 4
Existential strolling man gazes at Coventa’s controversial incinerator, designed in the brutalist manner, which had its first delivery of waste yesterday and is expected to start BURNING at the weekend.
A trial run last month brought unwelcome gusts of a warm, plastic fragrance across the strand.
Good times.

Get over it. Big time.
In 40 years they’ll be lying down in front of driverless Thorton trucks to preserve the place as a monument.
