Cork Councillors seek return of incinerator levy

Cork county councillors are to ask the Government to reintroduce an incineration levy following a decision to grant Indaver planning permission for an incinerator in Ringaskiddy.

They have also vowed to turn up at their next meeting wearing T-shirts supporting the judicial review being sought against the decision.

Standing orders were suspended at a council meeting in County Hall yesterday after Cllr Seamus McGrath raised the issue. He described the decision by An Bord Pleanála to grant Indaver as “a devastating blow” to harbour communities who’d fought against the project for many years.
