Gormley accused of U-turn on incinerator issue

GREEN Party leader John Gormley was yesterday accused of another political U-turn and of imposing incinerators on the people of Cork and Meath rather than in his own constituency of Dublin South East.

As the Irish Examiner revealed yesterday, Environment Minister Gormley unveiled figures to the Cabinet this week that showed that Ireland will need only two incinerators rather than the eight that are currently planned.

However, the opposition seized on the tacit acceptance by the Green minister that incineration would be a reality in Ireland.
