Council members may sue An Taisce chief
The local authority has demanded an apology from Michael Smith after he made the comments in a letter to County Manager Martin Nolan.
The row arises from a decision by the council to grant planning permission to Kerry Die Products for a 4.5m euro development, including a technology park, financial services centres and other buildings at Fossa, Killarney. Kerry Die managing director Liam O’Connor claimed he could be forced to close his 33-job operation if he did not get planning for an extension. The project would also create 100 jobs.
