Environment lobby group awaits ruling on Cork incinerator review

An environment lobby group is hoping the High Court will next week approve an application seeking a judicial review of An Bord Pleanála’s controversial thumbs-up for a €160m incinerator in Cork Harbour.

The group, Chase (Cork Harbour Alliance for a Safe Environment), applied to the High Court yesterday for permission to launch the judicial review.

The application was mentioned in the High Court in Dublin by Maurice Collins, senior counsel on behalf of Chase.
