‘Community uprising’ in Co Kildare as locals praise ‘model’ campaign to keep land open to public
Fianna Fáil TD James Lawless, Sinn Féin TD Réada Cronin, Fine Gael TD Bernard Durkan and Senator Vincent Martin of the Green Party were also in attendance, along with a number of local councillors among the estimated crowd of 200 people.
Mr Lawless spoke of a “community uprising” and said the OPW had a narrow view of their remit which was mostly only in relation to Castletown House. He also said one needs both ownership and planning to do something with land and that the developer in this case only has ownership and is therefore limited in what can be done with the land.
