Glanbia’s plans for a €140m cheese plant in Belview, Co Kilkenny, have hit a roadblock after An Bord Pleanála received objections from An Taisce and Friends of the Irish Environment. The plant is a joint venture by Glanbia and Dutch dairy group Royal A-Ware.
An Taisce’s objection highlights concerns over encouraging the growth of the dairy herd.
