Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2002 / April 12 2002: Local groups unite to fight planning objections by An Taisce

A meeting to be held in the village of Dowra on the Cavan/Leitrim border next week aims to establish a regional network of community groups to oppose organisations such as An Taisce in taking what are described as "unfair and abusive objections to planning applications". As in other western counties, particularly Co Mayo, An Taisce is taking the brunt of local anger in an increasingly contentious debate on planning. Dowra, a few miles from the shores of Lough Allen, has seen practically no development over recent years - a fact acknowledged by An Taisce.
