Councillors perform U-turn in Aghadoe rezoning plan

KERRY county councillors have done a major U-turn on a vexed rezoning issue, following intense pressure from an angry community.

Councillors who voted recently to rezone a four-acre site for a storage depot, in the scenic Aghadoe area, near Killarney, have buckled under pressure from local residents.

The councillors told a public meeting of the Aghadoe Residents’ Group on Tuesday night that they would not be supporting the rezoning when it comes for a final decision, on April 2.
