Sarah Burns, in The Irish Times, reports:
Eleven people were taken to hospital after a small amount of lime was accidentally released inside the flue gas treatment area at the Poolbeg Incinerator in Dublin on Wednesday night.
“Late on Wednesday night a small amount of lime was inadvertently released inside the flue gas treatment area during the commissioning and testing of the Dublin Waste to Energy plant at Ringsend,” said a spokesman for Dublin Waste to Energy Ltd.
“At the time there were a number of workers in an adjacent area. As a precaution, eleven workers were sent to St Vincent’s Hospital nearby for medical evaluation. Two were detained overnight.”

“The safety of our employees and contractors is of utmost importance to Covanta”
I don’t believe that for a second.
That place just needs a Zoren Industries logo slapped on the side of it.

Poolbeg incinerator article by Sarah Burns. Sarah BURNS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They made a real ash of that there incinerator.
It’s a very ember-essing situation for them altogether.
Someone should get fired.
Are you incinerating someone didn’t do their job correctly?
Later on Limeline….
“They’re poisoning the workers Joe!”
They’re probably cutting corners to lime their pockets.
i’m struggling to think of a soot-able pun.
that one flue over my head
Google up George Burns there and steal one of his. He’s dead – e g., ashes to ashes.
More flame mail due on the topic.
I feel someone is attempting to make a point with this post, and what with that headline, and yes it’s turned into a puntastic mess.
Now when you pick a paw-paw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
Next time beware
Don’t pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use the claw
But you don’t need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big paw-paw
Have I given you a clue ?
The residents should get on to the local Parish Priest about living in-sin er, later.
Is it trending on Twitter? What’s the ashtag?
