Local residents plea: ‘Cork Harbour has to be protected’

The campaign to stop an incinerator being built in Cork Harbour is stepping up a notch as efforts get under way to raise awareness in Cork City and to get companies to pledge financial support towards the cost of a judicial review.

The move comes nearly three weeks after An Bord Pleanála announced its decision to give Indaver Ireland the go-ahead for a controversial €160m 240,000 tonnes-per-annum waste incinerator at Ringaskiddy in Cork Harbour.

Harbour resident Sue Walsh, who together with husband Nick owns leading blind manufacturing company Acme Blinds, said they will be pledging support as a company.
