A local environmental group has won its legal challenge over the granting of planning permission for a €160m incinerator at Ringaskiddy in Cork Harbour.

The High Court's Mr Justice David Barniville ruled on Friday that Cork Harbour Alliance for a Safe Environment was entitled to succeed on two of its 11 grounds of challenge to a planning permission granted by An Bord Pleanála in May 2018.
