Poolbeg incinerator project may be scrapped
Dublin city manager Owen Keegan sparked fresh uncertainty over the scheme by suggesting it may not survive EU scrutiny. Brussels is probing whether EU rules on procurement and state aid have been broken.
Mr Keegan told Dublin councillors that a decision would need to be taken on whether the project should continue. It is the first time officials have suggested the project could be abandoned, a move which would result in the loss of €95m already spent on consultancy fees and land purchases.
