The Combined Residents Against Incineration group has taken the first steps in a High Court appeal against the decision to grant planning permission for an incinerator in Poolbeg, in Dublin.
The organisation lodged papers with the High Court initiating an appeal against the Minister for the Environment, the Attorney General, Dublin City Council and An Bord Pleanála.
In the summons, the organisation cites a number of claims including that Ireland has failed to transpose its obligations under European Council directives into Irish law.
CRAI also says it is entitled to have access to a review proceedure to challenge the legality of an Bord Pleanála's decision to grant permission for the incinerator.
The defendants in the case have 21 days to respond.
If the case goes ahead it will bring the Minister face-to-face with his constituents across the floor of the High Court.
