Abattoir plan may upset JP’s estate gift

THE Co Limerick rural district where JP McManus recently bought an estate for his daughter is up in arms over a plan to build an abattoir there.

A Limerick businessman wants to build a large abattoir at Grange, where Mr McManus acquired a 145-acre walled estate for his daughter recently at a cost of €4.5 million.

An application has been lodged for the erection of a single-storey abattoir with entrance gates and boundary wall at Grange, Co Limerick.
