TDs and An Taisce repeatedly locked horns during an Oireachtas agriculture committee meeting on Tuesday over the Climate Action Plan, with both sides determined to land body blows.
The role of An Taisce in blocking planning permission for Glanbia’s new processing plant was quickly raised by Fianna Fáil Senator Paul Daly, who demanded to know why the charity felt its role included planning submissions.
An Taisce spokesperson Ian Lumley explained that in the context of planning and agriculture, it would raise concerns around ammonia and other areas such as water quality.

An Bord Pleanála granted permission for 297-room development in the north-side suburb – despite a Government ban on co-living developments.
The Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien announced the ban in November last year; however, developer MM Capital applied for the permission before the ban was officially implemented.

A Pinckney man is heading to trial on charges of stealing $100,000 worth of scrap metal from his workplace.
Last July, Pinckney Police began an investigation of suspected thefts from a business on Hamburg Street in the Village. Detective Ryan Hamlin determined that an employee, 38-year-old Ian Lumley, started stealing metal within a week of his employment in November of 2019. Certain machines at the business had also stopped working due to electric wiring being removed.
Police located the various types of metal, which included copper, brass, stainless steel and aluminum at various scrap dealers in Washtenaw and Wayne counties. Witnesses reported seeing Lumley fill boxes with metal, although no one was sure what he was doing with them.
