Incinerator opponents vow to keep up fight

We may have lost this battle, but the war isn’t over yet.

That is the defiant message from environmental campaigners in the wake of An Bord Pleanála’s decision to go against its inspector’s recommendation and grant planning for a controversial €160m waste-to-energy incinerator in Cork Harbour.

A GoFundMe campaign has now been launched to help campaign group, Cork Harbour Alliance for a Safe Environment (Chase), which has been fighting the project for 17 years, raise up to €200,000 to mount a possible legal challenge against the decision in the High Court.
