The final go-ahead was today given for the country’s second waste incinerator.

THE company planning to build the country’s first toxic waste incinerator at Ringaskiddy in Co Cork yesterday said Defence Minister Willie O’Dea should leave the matter to the State and judicial agencies responsible for it.

A BELGIAN man who blames incinerators for a series of miscarriages and birth defects in his family said the toxic waste incinerator in Ringaskiddy would be a “disaster for Cork”.

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.
