Manager says councillors ‘make it up as they go along’

THE views of an Oxford University professor and a county manager have been ignored by Kerry councillors, who have agreed to rezone historic demesne lands for residential purposes.

The demesne is in the mid-Kerry village of Milltown, a fast-growing area which has seen major housing development in recent years.

Professor Roy Foster described a local area plan for Milltown as a “developer’s charter aimed at turning an integrated Irish village environment into a faceless commuter suburbia.”
