Helicopter Safety One Of The Reason's Behind Delay In Ringaskiddy Incinerator Decision
It's emerged that the helicopter safety is one of the reason's behind An Bord Pleanála’s decision to defer their verdict on an application for an incinerator in Ringaskiddy.
It's the fourth time the decision has been delayed and The Irish Examiner reports that the planning authority has written to waste management company behind the application seeking further information in relation to helicopter navigation safety.
It follows concerns raised by Department of Defence at an oral hearing into the project about the proximity of the incinerator stack to the approach paths of Haulbowline Naval Base and Spike Island.
Questions have also been raised about information relating to dioxin emissions which environmental group Chase say is further to Indaver's 2008 application and not the 2016 application.
Indaver say they'll respond to the request for further information by May 15th.
Speaking to RedFM News Linda Fitzpatrick of CHASE says this latest deferal is diminishing the community's confidence in An Bord Pleanála:
