Knockbounce waste: awaiting decision

Kilcullen Community Action is to wait on a planning decision on the proposed waste and recycling plant at Knockbounce Business Park before deciding on whether a public meeting on the issue should be called, writes Brian Byrne.

The matter was discussed at the most recent KCA meeting, at which where details of the response by the promoter to requests by the Council for further information were outlined.

KCA is one of a significant number of groups and individuals who have submitted objections to the planning application.

During the discussion, JJ Warren raised the matter of whether KCA wanted to be seen as an organisation which is 'stopping employment' in the town?

It was decided that any prior public meeting on the issue would be pre-empting the local authority's planning decision.
