Dungarvan development gets go-ahead

A HIGH COURT decision clearing the way for a multi-million euro development will lead to the creation of 350 jobs in Dungarvan.

Waterford county manager Donal Connolly yesterday said he was delighted the way has finally been cleared for the development following a series of delays to the project.

This follows a decision by the High Court to refuse an application by local woman Collette O’Connell for a judicial review seeking to quash the Bord Pleanala decision to grant planning permission to Clancy Construction Ltd for the development of a major shopping centre and other facilities on a former 43 acre Glanbia site off the town centre at Shandon.
