Cork Harbour group in online push against incinerator

Environmental group Chase has launched an online campaign to gather a mass objection against Indaver’s third attempt to build an incinerator in Cork Harbour.

The campaign group said it hopes its online tool will simplify the process of gathering as many objections as possible to the company’s 240,000 tonne €160m waste-to-energy incinerator earmarked for a site in Ringaskiddy.

They said the process will also help people avoid what they described as “the prohibitive” €50 charge which An Bórd Pleanála requires with all objections to Strategic Infrastructure Development (SID) applications.
