Greens reiterate call for incinerator ban

The Green Party has reiterated its call for a ban on the incineration of municipal waste, just days after An Bord Pleanala approved plans for a controversial €80m incinerator near Duleek in Co Meath.

The party has published several amendments to the Government's Protection of the Environment Bill and said the Fianna Fail-Progressive Democrats coalition should adopt a "zero waste" strategy.
