Incinerator objectors say fight goes on after approval

OBJECTORS to the country’s first household waste incinerator are to continue their fight in the courts after An Bord Pleanála cleared the construction of the facility yesterday.

The No Incineration Alliance which has campaigned against the incineration plant due to be built near Duleek, Co Meath will first ask the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for an oral hearing so they can voice their opposition.

But alliance spokesman Pat O’Brien said the next step, if they can not convince the EPA to withhold an operating licence from the plant, would involve a legal challenge.
