The importance of preserving the lime kiln at the site of the former Carlow sugar factory cannot be understated.
That’s the view of artist Renee Butang, who notified the Council on Monday, that the structure was under threat of demolition.
Carlow County Council has voted in favour of a proposal to make the lime kiln a protected structure in the County Development Plan.
It’s understood Greencore, which owns the site, has been notified of the vote.
