An Bord Pleanála has re-activated and will consider anew a planning application for an incinerator in Cork Harbour, re-igniting a controversy dating back decades.
Indaver Ireland last lodged plans for a “waste to energy facility” in Ringaskiddy in January 2016. At every juncture, the local group Cork Harbour Alliance for a Safe Environment (Chase) has opposed the plans through court battles, oral hearings and through public forums stretching back to the early 2000s.
