Opinion: We will fight decision on incinerator

We are tired, we are disappointed, we are devastated, but we are a long way from broken.

An incredible 17 years ago, in 2001, Indaver announced plans to bring its hazardous and municipal waste incineration project on stream at the shore end of a yet to be developed peninsula in Ringaskiddy, Co Cork, beside the last remaining beach in the area.

Opposition galvanised in pockets around Cork Harbour, to unify shortly afterwards as an umbrella group, Cork Harbour Alliance for a Safe Environment (Chase) — we knew we were in for a long fight.
