Cousins clash over abattoir proposal

COUSIN is pitched against cousin in a bitter planning row centred on a proposal to build an abattoir in the Co Limerick countryside.

Limerick farmer and butcher Jim Flavin wants to build an abattoir on lands he owns at Grange.

Among the 28 objectors are his cousins, one of whom said yesterday that he would sell up and leave if the abattoir gets planning approval.
