Ballyshannon Inspector's Report 'important' - Heydon

The importance of reading the full report submitted by its Inspector to An Bord Pleanala on the Ballyshannon quarry appeal was stressed yesterday by Kildare South TD and Minister of State Martin Heydon, writes Brian Byrne.

He made the comment in a statement following his appearance on KFM radio to discuss the result of the appeal in the favour of the developer, Kilsaran Concrete.

Minister Heydon also noted the concern of the local community that the decision would create a precedent for further such quarries in the area, as other lands have been purchased by the developer.

The full details of the appeal and decision were published yesterday. The Ballyshannon Action group says 'there is a lot in it and it will take time to process'.
