Incinerator plans enter new phase

PLANS for a controversial incinerator in Tipperary took a step further yesterday when the company involved applied for an Environmental Protection Agency licence.

National By-Products is planning to build an incinerator close to the village of Rosegreen which would burn the country’s meat and bone-meal waste.

The plan is being opposed by 70% of locals and has also threatened the removal to the US of the Coolemore/Ballydoyle racing empire, one of the leading racing and stud operations in the world.
