It was a cold spring morning on Dublin’s Marlborough Street, but spirits were high among the people who had arrived from Knocknagoshel.

They’d left the Kerry village before dawn to get to Dublin just after 11am,  for a protest date at the offices of An Bord Pleanála, the State’s planning authority.
