Thomas Reid says emissions from the plant could affect a local Special Area of Conservation
A Co Kildare resident has claimed Intel Ireland s €3.6 billion planned expansion of its plant could pose a risk to a local area of special conservation.
Thomas Reid, who lives 500 metres from the site, has taken judicial review proceedings aimed at overturning a decision by An Bord Pleanála to grant permission for the expansion.
He says the plant adjoins the Rye River Valley and Carton Special Area of Conservation which could be affected by emissions from the site. He also says the decision by An Bord Pleanála was granted without meeting the requirements of various EC Directives and Irish legislation.

The explosion of satire in the Georgian period saw philosophers worry mockery could lead to abuse, research shows.
The age of politeness was also the age of ridicule, and this led to a crisis of civility , according to the new book.
Satire, caricature and comedy thrived in 18th century Britain after censorship was relaxed. This led to moral panic as critics worried it would corrupt public debate. People worried about abuse in a similar way as they do about online rudeness today.
The study shows how philosophers of the time nevertheless defended the use of ridicule to expose arrogance and hypocrisy and hold the powerful to account. Uncivil Mirth, by Dr Ross Carroll from the University of Exeter, examines how leading thinkers of the period tried to enlist ridicule for causes that served the public good, such as religious toleration and the abolition of the slave trade.
