Riordan rejects call to restrict access to planning files

A CALL for restricted public access to planning files in Kerry has been strongly rejected by county manager Martin Riordan.

Some councillors, who claim “serial objectors” are putting pressure on council staff by demanding a large number of files at the same time, have called for curbs to be introduced.

Independent Cllr Michael Healy-Rae accused some objectors of going to the planning department with a list of up to 40 files they wished to examine.
