Last-ditch effort to stop rezoning amid heritage fears

CONCERNED residents from Adare make a last- ditch effort today to try and persuade councillors not to rezone farmland for housing near the village.

Councillors in the Bruff electoral area, which covers Adare, have acceded to requests from land owners to rezone about 50 acres of farmland on the Limerick side of the village.

The move comes despite opposition from county manager Ned Gleeson and planners who fear it would damage its heritage appeal.
