Indaver: Cork Harbour always the best site

The boss of Indaver Ireland has reiterated that the site selected for a proposed incinerator in Cork Harbour has always been the best one — and its suitability has only increased.

John Ahern, regional manager with Indaver for Ireland and the UK, said he believed another incineration facility is likely in his native Limerick at some stage in the future. It was the likelihood of another project there that reaffirmed his conviction that the Ringa-skiddy site was best suited for the waste-to-energy facility in Cork Harbour.

He was speaking at the oral hearing into the proposal, which has prompted huge opposition from local people as well as government ministers, local TDs, the air corps, and the Department of Defence.
