Locals celebrate incinerator ruling despite ‘disgraceful’ wait for decision

LOCALS in the Cork Harbour village of Ringaskiddy have been celebrating that an incinerator won’t be built in their midst.

In the local shop, Denis Murphy said it was “disgraceful” it has taken this long to get a final decision on a planning application first lodged 10 years ago.

“Look at all the money made by experts and lawyers taking part in all those hearings and all those court cases. Locals are pleased but you really have to ask questions about a planning process that carried on for so long.”
