The Irish Times reports:
“Cheating and giving false information was “endemic” in planning during the boom time in Kerry, An Taisce has claimed. Landscaping conditions attached to planning were also regularly ignored, the heritage body has told Kerry County Council.
In a submission to the draft county development plan for 2015-2021, An Taisce claims that farm families enjoyed favouritism in planning, with less stringent conditions than others.
“An Taisce is aware of cases where the house was sold to an outsider, despite having an occupancy clause for a particular person,” Dr Catherine McMullin, An Taisce’s honorary planning officer for the region, said.
Cheating in planning was ‘endemic’ in Kerry, says An Taisce (Irish Times)

Waterville, Co Kerry last night.
Bring your high-volume, huddled masses.
The bigger the wallet louder the better.
Locals in the Kerry village of Waterville have come out in force to proclaim their town ‘American-friendly’ – despite reports to the contrary. Residents and business owners took to the streets of the picturesque Kerry town yesterday evening to wave US flags – as well as Canadian, British and EU ones, for some reason – in a demonstration designed to counter the impression that ‘loud Americans’ were not welcome in the town.
And not a moment too soon.
Mr. Magoo sez:
On the way down to Inch strand this afternoon, sure where would you get it?
