GoFundMe campaign launched to raise €200k so fight against plan can continue

A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to help campaigners continue their near-20-year fight against controversial plans for an incinerator in Cork Harbour.

CHASE say they need to raise between €150,000 and €200,000 if they are to have any chance mounting a judicial review of yesterday’s decision by An Bórd Pleanáa to grant planning permission for a €160m waste-to-energy incinerator on a 13-hectare site in Ringaskiddy.

“We have a very short time to raise this money before we can go forward and take the decision to the High Court,” the group said last night.
