Council will urge board to block incinerator

CORK County Council is to urge An Bord Pleanála to reject Indaver’s plans to build incinerators in Ringaskiddy capable of burning 300,000 tonnes per annum of municipal and hazardous waste.

Council officials have drafted a negative report on Indaver’s proposals, which will be given to the board on February 16.

County manager Martin Riordan said there were three main reasons why his officials thought the proposals inappropriate.
