(Leinster Leader 16/7/09, p. 3; Wicklow People 15/7/09, p. 5).
Residents of Montpelier and O’Brien’s Bridge, Co. Limerick, have expressed concern at work underway at a disused sandpit recently purchased by O’Connell’s Quarries, which, according to local community group chairperson, Mick Murtagh, they fear is preparatory work for a batch concrete plant. (Limerick Leader 18/7/09, p. 10).

(Anglo-Celt 16/7/09, p. 3).
