Waterford piggery plan faces local resistance

"One industrial piggery for a relatively densely populated area would be too much, and this is two.” 

 CRTB Chairman Noel Reynolds with Brian Lonergan, Úna Mulcahy, and Colm McGrath.

A residents’ group in West Waterford is contesting two planning applications for an industrial pig farm near Ballinamult that would produce 19.5m litres of pig slurry per year.

Two planning applications at sites 1.5km apart in Carrigroe and Caherbrack by Fenor Pig Farms seek to demolish pre-existing piggeries and increase the capacity to 18,280 weaner and finisher pigs between the two sites.
