Locals in Kerry village block renewable energy plant 

The project had previously been successfully appealed by Kerry Education and Training Board because of the proximity of the plant to Causeway’s 470-pupil secondary school.

An Bord Pleanála has overturned a decision by Kerry County Council to approve plans by Sandford Energy to complete a partially-developed power and heat generation facility near Causeway, Co Kerry.
