Cork people aren’t being given any input into the future of their harbour

With reference to Kinsale Environment Watch’s concerns (Letters, August 25) regarding a directive from Ministers Alan Kelly and Paudie Coffey.

In Jan of this year, a directive from the minister to change the wording from the then proposed 2015 Waste Management Policy, and replace it with wording specifically favouring incineration technology over others has given renewed impetus to incinerator developers ie Indaver and is anti-competitive.

As a result of incessant lobbying by Indaver and others in the waste management sector, we find the people of Cork have been placed in a most undemocratic position as the directive did not reflect or respect their wishes.
