CHASE, Cork Harbour Alliance for A Safe Environment, is a network of community groups campaigning for 20 yrs against Indavers proposed Ringaskiddy Incinerators
Just over 20 years ago, sparked by news of Indaver’s plan to build a toxic waste incinerator in Ringaskiddy, a community galvanised and a battle grew. This short film collects memories and collates the sentiment of this long fight. https://t.co/d3swPKZplZ #corkharbour#Ireland

"No incinerators!"
I joined 3 Green colleagues at the CHASE campaign against waste incinerators in places like Cork Harbour. It's unacceptable for our environment & tourism. I’ll be making my own submission to An Coimisiún Pleanála.
Please make yours too. Thanks everyone.
The 150 year old Sextant pub in Cork was knocked over a weekend in Aug 2020 on pretence of building homes
Once gone 'developer' informed city it was too expensive to build homes
Instead they'd build offices
3 years later we've a private car park instead
This is #DerelictIreland
One for the diary this week :
Speakers include Donnchadh Wolfe, who worked with @Costellop on the sucesssful CETA Supreme Court case, and @NoonanJoe, solicitor for @CHASECorkNews
2/3 Manufacturers and retailers must step up to make their products more reusable, repairable and refurbishable. Making products that are destined for disposal just doesn't make sense.
Investing in more end-of-pipe solutions such as landfills and incinerators to deal with our waste moves us backward away from the circular economy and back toward the unsustainable linear consumption model. https://t.co/GL8hHHwsiK
@AlisonNiEochaid Where a residents association ends, and how that differs from a collective of residents organisations, interest groups and individuals will be important in this legislation. No one group could have done what has been achieved by the collective all-harbour CHASE group.
These proposed new laws around judicial review are causing me considerable concern.
As an example, those like myself who opposed an incinerator in Cork Harbour would have been in a far weaker position if @CHASECorkNews did not have the option of judicial reviews open to them.
It is a bit mad to me that planning reform is being brought to bear in the way it is. I understand we have a history of wrongheadedness re housing but ffs... how can any sane govt see a scandal like we've had this year with ABP and decide the answer is to curb the courts. Madness
