Ancientmariner, like myself will no doubt remember when the Harbour was a dumping ground for all sorts of toxins.
Irish Fertilizer Industries/Nitrogen Eireann Teoranta in its day at Marino point sent skyward a green plume of chemicals unknown, and everyone living in a 10 mile radius had asthma or a wide range of other respitary ailments. Combine this with the twice daily train carrying gas in bulk tanks. Known locally as the time bomb.When it closed, we could literally breathe a sigh of relief.
Pfizer at Ringaskiddy had a ship that daily collected their slurry waste, took it a few miles beyond the Cork Buoy, and dumped it.
On the road to Cobh, just off the N25, another Pharma industry works away making products unknown, but eminating a smell that is somewhere beween boiling cabbage and cats urine.
The situation at Irish Steel is well documented.
Harbour residents were made to put up with all this, because of the jobs these industries brought.
The incinerator is the straw that broke the camels back.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

I can see this turning into a Shell to Sea campaign for its entire build phase.
With the attention this plant has brought and will continue to bring, I wonder has the planning taken account of the the risks of possibility attracting environmental terrorism. At its initial planning, the worlds eco-terrorist groups never had cheap access to drones capable of carrying munitions. Neither did they have access to state level cyber weapons akin to stuxnet/shamoon/wannacry/notpetya.
Now they do.

I disagree. The site is opposite the entrance to NMCI. The only thing beyond that is the Naval Base. The rest is Port of Cork or Large Pharma. Next door is a scrap facility. Port of cork has just commenced expansion of the port facility, this will see many construction vehicles for the next five years or more. In addition, the dreaded east tip is currently being landscaped to cover the evils of the last ecological blot on the harbour landscape.. Corrib, by contrast was one remote construction site surrounded by countryside. It will be difficult, for potential protesters to tell which truck is for the Ferryport or the east tip and which is for the incinerator.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

Something from Afloat:
https://afloat.ie/port-news/navy/ite...to-be-reviewedIt was the year of fire...the year of destruction...the year we took back what was ours.
It was the year of rebirth...the year of great sadness...the year of pain...and the year of joy.
It was a new age...It was the end of history.
It was the year everything changed.

The High Court has ruled that a planning application for an incinerator at Ringaskiddy in Cork Harbour can be resubmitted to An Bord Pleanála for consideration.
