Residents and landowners seek to appeal landfill decision

RESIDENTS and land owners opposed to plans for a landfill are sifting through legal documents desperately trying to find grounds for appeal.

They say they will not make a High Court challenge to the development, unless they find sound legal grounds on which to try such a case. It would be far too costly and they do not have the funds.

Earlier this month, South Tipperary County Council was granted planning for a landfill on 10 acres of a 40-acre site at Grangemockler. It marked the end of a seven-year local battle against the development.
