'No health check setup near waste sites'
The EPA has just granted Indaver Ireland a draft waste licence to operate a €93 million hazardous waste incinerator in Ringaskiddy, Co Cork and an €85m non-hazardous waste incinerator in Duleek, Co Meath. The public has 28 days to lodge objections.
But in a letter to the Department of Health seen by the Irish Examiner, the EPA director general Dr Mary Kelly warned there is no system in place to routinely monitor the health of people living near such contentious sites.
