Opposition to incinerator grows

A large majority of county councillors in Cork are seeking to formally register their opposition to an incinerator project in Ringaskiddy.

An Bord Pleanála is due to hold an oral hearing into Indaver Ireland’s plans to develop a €160m waste management amenity in Cork Harbour.

As the application is viewed as strategic infrastructure development (SID), a decision on whether to grant permission will be made by An Bord Pleanála and not Cork County Council.
