Proposed nursing home in Mullinavat that was refused planning has been appealed to An Bord Pleanála

Plans for a new nursing home in South Kilkenny refused by the local authority have been appealed to An Bord Pleanála.

Peter Purcell had applied for permission for a new three-storey building at Garrandarragh in Mullinavat but was turned down by the council last month.

The applicant has now appealed that decision to the Planning Board with a ruling due in March 2023.
