Poolbeg Incinerator Did Not Break State Aid Rules - Eu Commission
The European Commission has ruled that the Poolbeg Incinerator project did not breach rules on state aid, and will continue on market terms.
However, the project is still facing a second complaint over public procurement procedures, and will be cancelled should the ruling go against it.
Dublin City Council and Covanta are behind the project as part of a public private partnership. Should the second complaint be upheld DCC will lose over €90m.
Should the project win against its second complaint and plans proceed the money would be repaid to the council by Covanta.
Local residents, a number of city councillors and other waste companies have all raised objections to the proposed 600,000 ton waste incinerator.
