Row breaks out between councillors over Skibbereen plastics factory plans

A major row broke out between county councillors over a proposal to rezone an industrial area in a County Cork town to green belt, which would prevent a plastics factory from locating there.

Hundreds of Skibbereen people objected to the factory locating in their town and they won a High Court action against Bord Pleanála's decision to grant it planning permission.
