Decision on Cork Harbour incinerator extremely disappointing – Buttimer

31st May 2018 - Senator Jerry Buttimer

Fine Gael Cork South Central Senator, Jerry Buttimer, has responded to the decision of An Bord Pleanála to grant permission for an incinerator in Cork Harbour, calling it extremely disappointing.

“Today’s decision by An Bord Pleanála is extremely disappointing. I know it will be very frustrating for the residents and also for the Cork Harbour Alliance for a Safe Environment (CHASE) whose members have worked so hard on this matter.

“The case they made against the incinerator at the oral hearing of An Bord Pleanála was compelling.

“I stand with the people of Cork in opposition to this incinerator.”
