Indaver seeks to increase size of planned incinerator

A MAJOR environmental row is about to re-ignite in Co Meath following the decision by Indaver Ireland to reapply for permission to increase the size of its waste incinerator just one month after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved the original plan.

Last November, the EPA granted the Republic's first two licences for proposed incinerators at Carranstown, near Duleek in Co Meath, and Ringaskiddy in Co Cork.

Yesterday, the company which will operate both plants, Indaver Ireland, announced details of its intention to lodge a new planning application with Meath County Council.
