Harbour incinerator decision deferred for a seventh time

The longest-running planning saga in An Bord Pleanála’s history is set to drag on after it deferred, for the seventh time, a decision on plans for an incinerator in the Cork Harbour area.

The board was to decide this week on whether to give allow an application from waste management company Indaver Ireland Ltd to build a 240,000 tonnes per annum waste-to-energy facility at Ringaskiddy.

However, a spokesperson for the planning authority confirmed the new decision date is December 5.
