Objection to plan for well linked to saint

RESIDENTS of a Co Louth village have appealed to An Bord Pleanála a decision to grant permission to a housing development, saying that a well discovered on the site two years ago could be linked to St Bridget.

The site is on the Dublin road in Dunleer, a village that has seen the price of property increase dramatically because of its proximity to the M1 motorway.

A majority of Louth county councillors decided in May to contravene the village development plan and grant permission to a company to build 26 houses and apartments on the site.
