Tesco planning contested in Maynooth

John Geraghty


An appeal has been made to An Pleanála by a Maynooth group, which says that the planning permission granted to Tesco will
adversely affect the trees currently growing on Maynooth’s main street. The planning grant makes the provision for the removal of eight trees and will endanger the well being of remaining trees say the petitioners in a letter written to An Bord Pleanála. The planning grant is designed in part to tackle Maynooth’s growing traffic problem. Alternatives to the proposed plan are given in the letter written by T.D. Emmet Stagg (Labour) and councillor John McGinley (Labour).
