Planning permission granted for new Islamic cultural centre in Tipperary

Planning permission has been granted for a new cultural centre, including prayer rooms, for Muslims living in Clonmel, Co Tipperary despite strong opposition from a large group of local residents.

An Bord Pleanála rejected an appeal by the residents against the decision of Tipperary County Council to approve the proposed development by the Tipperary Islamic Cultural Centre at Irishtown in Clonmel.
