Recycling plant gets 15 months to relocate

THE operator of a Kerry waste recycling facility, which does not have planning permission, was yesterday given 15 months to halt all work at the site.

Kerry County Council had sought an order at the Circuit Court, in Killarney, compelling Eoghan McEnery, to cease all operations at Cahooeragh, Moyvane, within six months.

However, after being told Mr McEnery needed more time to find an alternative location, Judge Carroll Moran allowed 15 months.
