Even the EU doesn’t want an incinerator

WE accuse this Government of recklessness in regard to the health of people living in Cork, its city and especially the densely-populated area in the harbour area, in promoting a site for a national toxic incinerator in an amenity area.

Waste is valuable until it is burned and then it becomes an even bigger problem when toxic ash has to be land-filled. Where will that be?

This is reckless policy-making on the part of this Government. Once contract incineration is allowed in, it will de-green Ireland forever and industry will cut back on their capital expenditure on waste management.
