Stud farm at heart of campaign to keep incinerator out of Golden Vale

THE proposal to build an incinerator in Tipperary has seen one of the country's biggest businesses pitched against a local family backing the plant.

Coolmore Stud is to the fore in the campaign opposing the meat and bonemeal plant National By-Products, owned by local family the Ronans, wants to build.

Coolmore argues it contributes 44m to the local economy and employs 600. The incinerator will create 24 jobs.
