A public meeting about the second of two High Court challenges to the expansion of the Aughinish Alumina in Limerick is to be held in Limerick tonight.
The 1,485-acre plant wants to expand its red mud bauxite residue disposal area, which is currently so big the so-called ‘red lakes’ can be seen from space.
