The Poolbeg incinerator in Dublin has breached regulations 14 times since April.

According to The Times Ireland Edition, the Environmental Protection Agency has been notified of 37 incidents at the €600 million plant since it began operating.

The most serious one was on June 7th, when 11 workers were hospitalised after a release of lime.

The incinerator has split opinion since its construction in 2014, but when fully operational, it will generate enough electricity for 80,000 homes.
