Cork residents have ‘no faith’ in Indaver fire safety plans

Residents of Cork’s lower harbour have “no faith” in Indaver to ensure a proposed incinerator would be safe in the event of an explosion or fire.

As the Bord Pleanála oral hearing continued in Carrigaline yesterday, a number of local residents raised their concerns about how Indaver would handle an explosion in Cork.

The company had been faced with an explosion in Belgium earlier in February after a fire broke out at the company’s Antwerp plant when a tanker exploded.
