Angry locals vow to fight decision

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 strand is just a field away from the site where the Belgian-owned company Indaver Ireland have been given permission to build a 95 million toxic waste incinerator.

“There are 120 overseas companies within the pharmaceutical and chemical sector in Ireland, which employ over 20,000 people,” Mr Ahern said. “This decision will ensure these industries are supported by putting in place the necessary infrastructure for the management of their waste.”
