Duchas opposes environmentalist's Burren house plan

The Irish Times

Dúchas, the State Heritage Service, is leading the opposition against plans by one of the country's best known environmentalists, Mr John O'Donoghue, to build a home in the Burren. As chairman of the Burren Action Group, Mr O'Donoghue was a pivotal figure in the successful 10-year campaign against State plans to build an interpretative centre at Mullaghmore. Now, Dúchas has recommended to Clare County Council that it refuse planning permission to Mr O'Donoghue to build a home at his family holding at Furmoyle, Ballyvaughan, north Clare.
