Rathcoole Incinerator

There is growing concern in our community about the impact of a proposed incinerator which would burn 365,000 tonnes of waste per annum near Rathcoole.

The Rector and a number of parishioners attended a public meeting on the issue in July, where speakers from community groups, South Dublin County Council and the Irish Doctors Environmental Association raised serious concerns about the possible affects on health and the environment.

An Bord Pleanala will decide on the application later in the year.
