Planning Permission For Cork Harbour Incinerator Deferred For Fifth Time
A group opposed to a proposed incinerator in Cork Harbour say residents are being "held hostage" by An Bord Pleanala.
Cork Harbour for a Safe Environment made the comments as the decision on planning permission for the €160 million facility has been deferred for a fifth time.

No reason has been given for this latest delay and CHASE say it is impossible to speculate as to the reason why the decision has been pushed back to the 12th of September.
