Cork Harbour Alliance for a Safe Environment are determined to prevent the incinerators proposed for Ringaskiddy. Despite recent government attempts to impose incineration on communities all over the country, there is now a growing national awareness that this solution to our waste problems is sheer lunacy. Anti-incinerator and other environmentally motivated groups are now joining forces to send a clear and unambiguous message to the government: stop taking us for fools.

A new report (Dec 2005) by the British Society of Ecological medicine concludes that waste incinerators contravene our basic human rights and "are, in reality, particulate generators, and their use cannot be justified now that it is clear how toxic and carcinogenic fine particulates are."
It recommends that "no further waste incinerators be built".
There can be no doubt that Minister Roche is going down the wrong road with Incineration as a commercial business. The amount of landfill needed just to get rid of the ash created., makes it non viable.
Trying to smuggle in an obsessional point of view without wanting to have an explicit debate, has backfired totally, when one was forced on both Mr. Aherne of Indaver and Minister Roche on Prime Time when experts on health, warned they could not justify incineration on health grounds.
The Infrastructural Bill which Minister Roche hopes will cover Hazardous installations is the weapon he is seeking to immobilise democracy. Minister Roche already has asked for the expectation that he will be given the power to control Ireland's rich heritage under the 2004 National Monuments (Amendment) Act. Whatever the consequences for people living near incinerators his zealous impetus to forge ahead with it regardless of the effects on Health or the Environment boarders on the reckless.
