The Taoiseach Micheál Martin has called for there to be no more appeals from An Taisce in relation to the planning permission for a Glanbia cheese plant in Co. Kilkenny.
Speaking in the Dáil earlier today (Tuesday, May 11) after the matter was raised by Tipperary TD Mattie McGrath, the Taoiseach said:
“My position remains very clear on that issue. That project is of immense economic importance to the region but also to the dairy industry and to the expansion of the dairy industry.

And she fears there are other vulnerable housebound elderly people in the county who haven’t been vaccinated yet because they are not lucky enough to have a relative to fight their corner.
