Family may lose house in road plan

A COUPLE granted permission for an extension to their home have been told they could lose their house to make way for a new road.

Planners admit they diverted from an original route plan miles away because of the threat of compensation claims from the Government and a quarry group.

Patrick and Patricia Hickey and their four children have vowed to fight the proposed new route for a dual carriageway from Waterford to Kilcullen to save their 10-year-old home.
