An Bord Pleanala Oral Hearing

Application for two Incinerators at Ringaskiddy, Co. Cork - Reference Number – 04.PA0010
Applicant - Indaver Ireland


Update - 12th February 2010

As you will be aware An Bord Pleanala have indicated that they will refuse the municipal waste incinerator and are considering granting planning for the toxic waste incinerator

This is despite the fact that the Bord say the developers application was “deficient” so one would wonder how can a decision to grant planning be made when vital information is missing!
(See CHASE press release 22nd Jan.)

This is not a final decision but an indication of what the Bord is thinking. Therefore it is essential that you write to the Bord to let them know of your shock and anger at how this application is being dealt with.

Thank you to all those who have contributed again to the campaign as these voluntary donations allow us to continue. It is important that the community continues to show its strength of opposition to this development. It is our efforts to date and the support of the community that have resulted in the refusal of one incinerator and it will be our continued efforts that will stop the second incinerator from getting planning permission.
