Locals protest at huge growth of town

A MAJOR protest against what is described as the overdevelopment of Kenmare — one of Kerry’s fastest growing towns — is planned for tomorrow.

At the centre of the latest controversy is the multi-million euro Peninsula project, which includes more than 300 houses, a large shopping area and a 200-space car park.

The project has been refused planning permission by Kerry County Council and an appeal has been lodged with An Bord Pleanála.
