Decision on appeal against President's house deferred

The Irish Times

An Bord Pleanála has deferred its decision on an appeal against the latest plan by the President, Mrs McAleese, and her husband, Dr Martin McAleese, for a lakeside home in a tax-designated area of Co Roscommon. The board was due to rule on the appeal by Friends of the Irish Environment (FIE) by last weekend. However, the parties have been notified that the deadline was being extended to April 5th. No reason was given for the two-month deferral.
