EPA almost certain to grant incinerator licence

IT is almost certain that the country’s first commercial toxic waste incinerator in Ringaskiddy, Co Cork will be granted a waste disposal licence by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), it emerged yesterday.

Indaver was granted planning permission for the controversial €95 million incinerator by An Bord Pleanála, despite objections from its own planning officer.

An application for a waste management licence, required for the incinerator to begin operating, has been lodged with the EPA.
