Attempt to rezone land for housing hits another study stumbling block

MOVES by the elected members of Limerick County Council to rezone large tracts of land near Adare for housing have met another stumbling block.

The councillors have the power to vote through rezoning of land and have an agreement whereby they support rezoning proposals once the councillors in the area concerned propose the move.

The councillors in the Bruff electoral area, which takes in Adare, have backed the rezoning and local landowners are in for a huge financial windfall if what is now agricultural land is rezoned for housing.
