Green Party to stand up for An Taisce in Co Kilkenny cheese plant row Fine Gael junior minister says environment group using public funds to appeal against venture ‘shabby’
about 2 hours ago
The Green Party will take a strong stand to prevent Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael Ministers from applying pressure on An Taisce to withdraw an appeal against a €140 million cheese manufacturing plant in Co Kilkenny.
The Greens have also strongly objected to rural Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael TDs calling for State funding to be withdrawn from the national trust, which has a role in the planning process in terms of environmental protection.
