ANTI-INCINERATION groups have criticised An Bord Pleanála’s decision yesterday to grant permission to Indaver Ireland to increase the size of its Co Meath incinerator by a third.

INDAVER, the company licensed to operate a toxic waste incinerator in Ringaskiddy, has no plans to increase the tonnage it will burn there, despite seeking an expansion of operations at its planned Co Meath facility.

A waste management company is to lodge a new planning application seeking to increase the size of a controversial incineration plant being built in Co Meath, it emerged today.

THE head of the country's environmental watchdog has rubbished claims that the Government's health adviser asked it not to licence two incinerators in the absence of a health impact study.
