No permission for Burren centre

An Bord Pleanála has refused plans for a “unique tourism product” on the Burren that, according to the applicants, had the potential to generate €3 million a year and create up to 18 jobs.

This follows the planning board upholding an appeal by An Taisce against a decision by Clare County Council to grant planning permission to Fintan O’Brien, Kieran Casey and Brian O’Shaughnessy to construct a wellness centre near Ruan.
