Horse trainer welcomes rejection of animal waste plant

CHAMPION trainer Aidan O’Brien has welcomed An Bord Pleanála’s refusal of planning permission for an animal waste processing facility in south Tipperary.

Green Organics Energy Ltd sought to develop the project on the site of a former animal rendering plant near Rosegreen, halfway between Cashel and Clonmel.

The site is two miles from the world famous Ballydoyle stables, Aidan O’Brien’s base, which is owned by stud giants Coolmore.
