Wicklow County Council puts brakes on Seán FitzPatrick's Greystones house-build plan

Wicklow County Council has warned former Anglo Irish Bank chairman Seán FitzPatrick that he is unlikely to receive planning permission for his new home if he cannot address the council's "privacy" concerns over the plan.

The planning ultimatum forms part of a three-page letter from the local authority to Mr FitzPatrick and his wife Catriona putting their house plan for Farm Lane, Greystones on hold.
