Jeremy Irons joins fight against plastics factory

Oscar-winning actor Jeremy Irons has weighed into the campaign against a plastics factory in Skibbereen, calling the plan a “hopeless misjudgement” and vowing to fight it.

His message was brought by filmmaker David Puttnam to a packed meeting in Skibbereen of people against the proposed development, which was granted planning permission earlier this month by An Bord Pleanála (ABP).
