Ombudsman urged to reopen case

They have signed a petition supporting Sean O’Mahony’s call for a review of the ombudsman’s first investigation into the council’s handling of a planning issue and its decision to refuse planning.
Mr O’Mahony, a 56-year-old widower and father-of-two, is standing in the Newcastlewest area on a “justice for all” ticket. Mr O’Mahony, who owns a small business in Laharn, Faha, Killarney, Co Kerry, purchased a 55-acre farm at Ardagh, Newcastlewest, in 2005, which he intended developing. He had a number of pre-planning meetings with Limerick County Council.
