Dezoning plan ‘halts resort development for five years’

ONE of Kerry’s most popular seaside resorts will see no development in the next five years, it was claimed yesterday.

Kerry County Council, as part of its controversial plan to dezone thousands of acres of residentially-zoned land, has agreed to dezone upwards of 30 acres in Glenbeigh.

A majority of councillors voted in favour of management proposals to allow just 11 acres to remain zoned as residential in the village, which is close to the Blue Flag Rossbeigh beach.
