<< News >> Newgrange and Dowth under threat?

Submitted by enkidu41 on Monday, 22 November 2004  Page Views: 3172

EnvironmentA proposal to build an incinerator in Cork Harbour to handle toxic waste has raised fears about its effect on the UNESCO designated World Heritage Site which includes the passage tombs of Newgrange and Dowth.

Environment agency An Taisce today lodged an appeal over the plans raising health and safety concerns over the controversial Ringaskiddy incinerator and fears about emergency evacuation plans and pollution risks. Officials said it contradicted conditions attached to planning rights granted on the basis there would be no impact on the Boyne World Heritage Site.

I think you will find that it is the Duleek incinerator in Co.Meath that may have an effect on the Boyne Valley monuments.
Cork is on the south coast of Ireland.
