Lack of investors sees incinerator plans fall through

A LACK of investors has put paid to plans for a multi- million euro incinerator on the outskirts of Limerick city, it has emerged.

As a result, Limerick Energy Renewal has withdrawn a proposal from An Bord Pleanála.

The company had already entered pre-application consultation discussions on plans to construct a thermal treatment plant at Gillogue in south east Clare which would have the capacity to treat 150,000 tonnes of waste per annum.
