The Irish Georgian Society has rejected suggestions by the Powerscourt Estate in Co Wicklow that it supports a planning application for 108 holiday homes, shops and offices in the environs of the stately home, near Enniskerry. Yesterday, the society said it had been approached to consider the plans and had made some recommendations, but a spokesman insisted that this "did not amount to support" for the project. The comments came as the deadline for submissions on the estate's current development plans passed yesterday.
