THE FATE OF a badger family is at the centre of a fresh planning battle between broadcaster Pat Kenny and the developers of a 104-bedroom nursing home on a site adjacent to the Kenny home in Dalkey, south Dublin.
In a new objection lodged against the Bartra Capital two-to-five storey nursing home, Kenny claims that the “straightforward commercially driven enterprise cannot justify killing the badgers of Bulloch Harbour”.
Earlier this year, Pat and Kathy Kenny and over 30 other households in Dalkey were successful in opposing a previous application by Bartra for a nursing home on the same site after Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council refused the application on a number of grounds.
