PDforra lodges objection to plans for Cork Harbour incinerator

An association representing 800 naval service personnel has lodged a formal objection to plans by Indaver for a major incinerator in Cork Harbour.

PDforra said it is extremely concerned about plans by the company to build the incinerator close to the Haulbowline naval base.

PDforra president Mark Keane, who works on the base, said members of the navy had put up with toxic residue from the former Irish Steel/Ispat plant for years and were very concerned about possible health implications, especially since an explosion rocked an Indaver waste treatment plant in Belgium last Friday.
