Heated row as council agrees to dezone land

A HEATED row yesterday flared up at yet another controversial “dezoning” meeting of Kerry County Council, which adopted a draft area plan for Killorglin.

On the third attempt, agreement was reached on dezoning 370 acres of land from residential to rural general.

Amid warnings that developers would be bankrupted, councillors have objected strongly to proposals by planners to dezone thousands of acres of over-zoned residential land across Kerry.
