Campaigners against Poolbeg incinerator take fight to High Court

CAMPAIGNERS against an incinerator which will turn waste into electricity for 50,000 Dublin homes are taking their fight to the High Court.

The Combined Residents Against Incineration (CRAI) action group has lodged papers in court to try to overturn An Bord Pleanála’s approval for the Poolbeg plant.

They want to challenge Environment Minister John Gormley, Attorney General Paul Gallagher, Dublin City Council and An Bord Pleanála in open court over the approval.
