Locals angry over €130m waste plant proposal

A COMMUNITY group has reacted angrily to an announcement that Indaver Ireland is seeking planning permission for a €130 million incinerator for household and commercial waste.

Indaver said it had decided to bypass Cork County Council’s planning office and instead lodge the application with An Bord Pleanála for the project at Ringaskiddy, Co Cork.

The company has submitted a pre-consultation application for the incinerator, which will burn 100,000 tonnes of waste per annum, to the Strategic Infrastructure Development section of An Bord Pleanála.
