Indaver to be pursued for legal costs

The planning appeals board and an environmental lobby group are to pursue waste management firm, Indaver Ireland, for costs today after it withdrew an application for a judicial review of a refusal by An Bord Pleanála to grant permission for its twin incinerator project in Cork.

A spokesperson for the board said, as a public sector body, it was “expected to protect taxpayers’ funds” and the costs incurred in the lead up to the judicial review were “significant”. He said the board “routinely sought costs” in such cases.

Cork Harbour Alliance for Safe Environment (CHASE) is to seek costs on the same grounds.
