Castleisland residents in planning row over nearby asphalt factory

Residents in a rural part of north Kerry have become involved in a planning row with a leading building materials firm over plans for a new asphalt factory near their homes.

Five separate appeals have been lodged with An Bord Pleanála against the recent decision of Kerry County Council to grant planning permission for the proposed new plant by Roadstone, at its existing quarry at Ballyegan, around 4km west of Castleisland.
