Seventh delay in planning a farce - Incinerator ‘indecision is final’

AN Bord Pleanála is rarely given to hyperbole, but remarks by its spokesperson, in the wake of yet another deferment of a decision on an incinerator in the Cork harbour area, is straight out of the Donald Trump book of quotable quotes.

The board has deferred for the seventh time a decision on whether to allow an application from Indaver Ireland to build a large waste-to-energy facility at Ringaskiddy.

By way of explaining this, the spokesperson said the Indaver case was unusual in its “sheer, super-complexity”.
