Animal waste plant deadline focuses local opposition

FEELINGS are running high ahead of tomorrow’s deadline for planning submissions on an animal waste rendering plant.

South Tipperary County Council has received hundreds of objections over the application submitted earlier this year by Green Organics Energy (GOE) Ltd.

Among the objectors and a member of lobby group South Tipperary for Clean Industry (STCI) is racehorse trainer Aidan O’Brien. His Ballydoyle stables are two miles from the site outside Rosegreen.
