An Bord Pleanála will not appeal a successful High Court challenge against the granting of planning permission over the €160m incinerator in Ringaskiddy, Cork Harbour.

Mr Justice David Barniville was told today the board does not intend to appeal but sought more time to consider its attitude over whether to agree to a simple quashing of the permission order or have it returned to the board for reconsideration.
