The Environmental Protection Agency is to hold an oral hearing on objections to the granting of a draft licence to a waste disposal company for the country's first toxic waste incinerator in Co Cork.
Indaver Ireland's controversial €70 million facility in Ringaskiddy would have a capacity for 100,000 tonnes of toxic waste per year.
Thousands of people living in the Cork Harbour area have signed petitions against the proposal.
It is also the subject of a High Court case taken by 11 people who are seeking an order to quash the planning permission granted for the project by An Bord Pleanála.
