Galway residents secure permission to challenge council's waste facility permit decision

A group of Co Galway residents have secured permission from the High Court to challenge a decision of Galway County Council to issue a waste facility permit for a plant close to their homes.

The action has been brought by members of the 'Ballinasloe Says No' campaign who opposed the decision to grant a permit allowing Mr Sean Curran of Barna Waste to operate a waste facility at Pollboy, Ballinasloe, Co Galway.
