HARBOUR residents are facing huge legal bills in a David versus Goliath planning battle with the port of Cork.

THE Health and Safety Authority (HSA) launched a full investigation last night after barrels of highly corrosive sulphuric acid fell off a lorry near the hub of Ireland’s chemical industry.

THE Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promised last night to improve the lines of communication with residents in Cork harbour.

DOWN near Gobby Strand in Ringaskiddy yesterday, people nervously laughed when they heard Indaver general manager John Ahern say on radio that incinerators don’t harm your health.

THE country’s first toxic waste incinerator has moved a step closer to reality after planners said they had no objection to the €80m development.
