Judicial review of Ringaskiddy incinerator granted

Environmental campaigners opposed to plans for a €160m incinerator in Cork Harbour have been given leave to mount a legal challenge to the proposed plant.

The High Court has cleared the way for Chase (Cork Harbour Alliance for a Safe Environment) to launch a judicial review of An Bord Pleanála’s decision to grant planning permission to the controversial Indaver Ireland project on May 29.

Mr Justice David Barni-ville ruled that there were sufficient grounds to bring a judicial review challenge and he adjourned the case to next Monday.
