Three masts, a powerline, a landfill, a quarry and the turfcutting campaign intensifies Residents concerned over the erection of a telemast at Ballintleave, Glenbeigh,
Co. Kerry, who protested at the site last Friday, hope to meet with Hutchinson 3G over the issue shortly. (Kerry’s Eye 16/7/09, p. 24).

The High Court has overturned An Bord Pleanala’s granting of planning permission to Greenstar Holdings for a 2 million tonne landfill in Usk, Co.

(Leinster Leader 16/7/09, p. 3; Wicklow People 15/7/09, p. 5).
Residents of Montpelier and O’Brien’s Bridge, Co. Limerick, have expressed concern at work underway at a disused sandpit recently purchased by O’Connell’s Quarries, which, according to local community group chairperson, Mick Murtagh, they fear is preparatory work for a batch concrete plant. (Limerick Leader 18/7/09, p. 10).
