Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2002 / March 19 2002: Duchas opposes environmentalist's Burren house plan

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.
