A quiet week -plyons, two incinerators and two quarries

Members of North East Pylon Pressure (NEPP) travelled to Stormont this week to take part in a protest against the north-south electricity interconnector. The protest, organized by SEAT (Safe Electricity in Armagh and Tyrone) took place on the steps of Stormont and called for the northern route for the interconnector to be buried underground. (Monaghan Post 22/1/09, pp.7,21).

The original planning file for the Indaver incinerator at Duleek, Co. Meath, which has been missing from the offices of Meath County Council for three months has been found after a company contracted to scan council documents onto computer records realized it held the file, which it had inadvertently stored with files from another planning authority. (Meath Chronicle 24/1/09, p.5).

An Bord Pleanala has refused Keegan Quarries permission to extend its quarry at Tromman, Rathmolyon, Co. Meath, but has granted permission to Cemex to extend its quarry in the same area. Kieran Cummins of the Rathmolyon Environmental Protection Alliance said residents were ‘relieved’ by the refusal of Keegan Quarries’ application but disappointed at the granting of permission to Cemex. (Meath Cnronicle 24/1/09, p.3).

The North East Against Incineration (NEAI) group has called on An Bord Pleanala to pay back the costs incurred by NEAI in its recent battle against the proposed College Proteins incinerator at Nobber, Co. Meath, an application which was dismissed as invalid by An Bord Pleanala. John Keegan of NEAI said it was important local residents were reimbursed as they believe a further planning battle against the incinerator to be imminent. He said ‘Our group has got bigger and there are lots more people getting involved. Over 100 people from the Nobber, Castletown, Meath Hill, Drumconrath, Kilmainhamwood and Kingscourt areas worked at the oral hearing because this affects us all.’ (Meath Chronicle 24/1/09, p.3)
