  • A Community Fighting

    A Community Fighting

    This short film marks the 20 year campaign sparked by the news that a Belgian waste company, Indaver had arrived armed with plans to build a large hazardous waste incinerator at the end of a then undeveloped cul-de-sac in Ringaskiddy, the industrial heartland of Cork.

    As news percolated around Cork Harbour, concern and opposition, evident from the outset, consolidated, galvanised and continued to go from strength to strength over the course of the years that saw a community stuck in a battle that they didn’t invite.

    The campaign, at the time of publication, is still ongoing and can be followed online at www.chasecorkharbour.com
  • Dr Paul Connett, Jeremy Irons, Prof Vyvyan Howard - Burning our waste must be abandoned

    Dr Paul Connett, Jeremy Irons, Prof Vyvyan Howard - Burning our waste must be abandoned

    Dr Paul Connett, Actor & Environmentalist Jeremy Irons and Prof Vyvyan Howard outline why burning our waste is a bad idea that needs to be abandoned.

    We’ve been fighting the same fight in Cork Harbour for over 19 years now and as yet another Government talks about formation we appeal to our politicians to make sure that this burning issue is given a place in current discussions.

    Burning our waste is a bad deal for communities and the environment everywhere.
