Residents may face costs in incinerator case

CORK Harbour residents who lost a legal action this week involving the two proposed incinerators for Ringaskiddy now fear the State will pursue them for legal costs.

The residents had mounted two legal challenges to the hazardous waste incinerators but wanted these challenges adjourned until a related case being taken by the European Commission against Ireland was decided in the European Court of Justice.

On Thursday, however, the Supreme Court rejected the residents’ bid to have their challenges adjourned.
