Pat Buckley (Cork East, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

This decision is detrimental to the whole Cork Harbour area. We are trying to promote tourism. This will be an absolutely diabolical scenario for the whole area of Cork affecting tourism and health. We have a hidden natural gem in the Cork area that we need to promote. People who are vehemently against this incinerator have put up a strong fight. I urge everyone to pull together and keep on fighting. We need to keep a cleaner environment in County Cork and across the country and promote our natural resources, namely, tourism and health.
