Locals vow to take reservoir fight to Europe

A GROUP of residents in West Cork has vowed to take their fight against a €14m reservoir all the way to the European Court if An Bord Pleanála doesn’t turn it down.

The planning appeals board has held an oral hearing in Bantry into a local project being proposed by Cork County Council.

People living below the reservoir in the Mealagh Valley have mounted stiff opposition to the project.
