Concerned residents from East Wall and North Strand raised the medical waste issue after they unearthed syringes in a mound of soil being used as backfill for the park.
A quantity of hospital waste was initially found in 2001 after excavations for the Port Tunnel at the Alfie Byrne Road took place through the old municipal dump.
Dublin City Council confirmed that this amounted to a skip full of material that was safely disposed of in 2001/2002, under licence by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and in accordance with EU regulations. It was exported for incineration in Belgium.
A commitment was given by Dublin City Council that residents can engage the services of an independent environmental consultant and that the council will cover the costs.
Joe Mooney, chairperson of East Wall Residents' Association, said he believed that without the intervention of residents, unsuitable material would have continued to be used in the park.
“Dublin City Council have a responsibility to address this without further delay,” Mr Mooney said.
Mr Mooney said he has also been made aware that some of the soil being stored for use as backfill for Fairview Park is now destined for a waste treatment plant in Portlaoise as it has been deemed unsuitable.
The city council spokeswoman told Northside People that the soil in question contained residue left from fires.
“It is not easily biodegradable and is considered by the EPA as unsuitable for backfill,” she said.
“There is a piece of this mound exposed which includes such residue.
“It's not harmful to the public in any way but as it is deemed unsuitable for backfill it will be removed and sent to Portlaoise.”
It was 2003, the machinery was well off course tunneling under Mr Eamon Wood's house in Marino, when he lost between 17 & 18 kitchen tiles.

maybe the mainstream media is waking up. The Mirror newspaper today has pictures of needles found in the park, on page 27. Latest news is that the environmental protection agency (E.P.A) has not given permission for this work. With no permission this is illegal dumping. Instead of doing things right the council gave themselves a permit, which they are not allowed to do. The more they lie the more trouble they are making. Will anybody make these people answer for their lies, and wasting money ?
The council have a fight on their hands for sure. These are communitys who know how to take on the big guys. They stopped Harry Crosbie in the Docks when he tried to build his life size homage to New York. They also took on C.I.E. twice and won. This is the only part of the country that has forced C.I.E. to put up sound proof barriers between the houses and the rail lines. C.I.E. always refuse to do this but would have faced problems working working if they didn't agree to keep the residents happy. They even paid the bill the residents ran up with a private sound engineer to keep them happy. The council should just do what is right and don't drag on and lose in the end anyway.
Well done to the fighting communitys, i wish there were more like them.
will this tunnel ever open? will it ever be complete?
