Incinerator loss is our gain

I refer to your article “Exporting waste — opportunity squandered” which appeared on Tuesday.

The 50,000 tonnes of waste being exported for incineration is not the result of CHASE’s campaign (Cork Harbour Alliance for a Safe Environment) to stop the building of two incinerators in Cork harbour.

Rather, it is due to uncertainty in the direction of waste management policy at Government level. Fine Gael has a “no-incineration policy” in waste management but this needs to be put into effect with the greatest urgency.!
