An Taisce questioned over housing

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2003 / September 24 2003: An Taisce questioned over housing

The chairman of an Oireachtas committee yesterday likened An Taisce to the "British landlords" who evicted their tenants in the 19th century because of its objections to housing in the countryside. Fianna Fáil TD for Meath, Mr Johnny Brady, who is chairman of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Agriculture, said "people from Dublin 4" were probably secret members of An Taisce moving to Co Meath and objecting to local young couples building houses there".
