Planning refusal for graveyard challenged in court

The refusal of An Bord Pleanála to grant planning permission to build a graveyard and crematorium near the Dublin Mountains is being challenged in the High Court.

Last year, Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council rejected plans for the one-acre graveyard and the two-storey crematorium in Kilternan finding the proposals to be in breach of zoning.
