Opponents fight historic estate's development

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2001 / March 23 2001: Opponents fight historic estate's development

Developers planning to build a golf course, a conference centre and 168 houses and apartments at the ancestral home of Lord Leitrim face considerable opposition to the scale of their plans. An Taisce and Green Party MEP Ms Patricia McKenna have objected to the planned development at Lough Rynn Estate near Mohill. One local couple have also lodged an objection with Leitrim County Council. Both Dúchas and the Heritage Council have been informed of the proposal and are likely to comment on it. Lough Rynn House is a listed building and the development site includes part of two National Heritage Areas at Lough Rynn and Lough Errew.
