State supplier in breach of planning laws

A CONCRETE firm operating part of a massive facility without planning permission is supplying material to one of the State’s biggest road building projects.

This is despite national guidelines issued by the National Roads’ Authority (NRA) that local authorities buy supplies only from individuals or companies which are fully compliant with all regulations.

Cork County Council confirmed yesterday that its planning enforcement section is investigating the operations of Slattery’s Precast Concrete Ltd in north Cork.
