Ex-Indaver boss to be quizzed on waste in role for EPA

THE incinerator company executive appointed to the Environmental Protection Agency is set to be questioned by an Oireachtas committee about her views on waste management.

The Government’s decision to appoint Laura Burke, the former project manager for Indaver Ireland’s proposed incinerators in Ringaskiddy, Co Cork, and Carranstown, Co Meath, prompted a wave of criticism from environment groups and opposition parties.

Anti-incinerator campaigners expressed dismay at the appointment of a toxic waste incinerator advocate, claiming there was a direct conflict of interest.
