Incinerator could drive sports out of Cork harbour, say clubs

The proposed incinerator in Ringaskiddy, Co Cork, could drive sports out of the harbour, according to local clubs.

Speaking on behalf of an umbrella body of sports groups in Cobh, Don Ryan said hundreds of people use the harbour for sports — both in the water and on the land around it.

He said emissions from the Indaver incinerator could pose health risks, drive international visitors away, and discourage locals from playing sports outside.
