Dingle pub refused retention permission for beer garden

An Bord Pleanála ruled in line with its inspector, refusing permission for the beer garden at Bob Griffin's Pub, Dingle.
A beer garden at the back of a pub in the centre of Dingle has been refused retention permission by An Bord Pleanála, upholding a Kerry County Council decision.
The refusal by An Bord Pleanála is the second in recent weeks where residential amenities in Dingle have been given priority over commercial, with a change of use from dwelling to holiday let in a residential estate also turned down.
