:rolleyes:

That article really backs up your claim that Kerry CoCo are trying to "block jobs".

Christ your work is lost on boards, try the redtops, they will appreciate you making up headlines that have no actual link to stories.

Kerry CoCo warned the Porterhouse that they were goig outside planning permission... so you know they were doing their job.

Porterhouse responded, and the CoCo and Porterhouse are resolving the issues.

This thread is like something Arthur would do. He hated distilleries and kept campaigning for higher duty against them.

What reason would the Kerry CC block a company from trying to create jobs that is my question?

I Think possibly the fact that the whiskey factory has been up and running the last few weeks without planning is the biggest issue here...Real Boardwalk Empire stuff...

Eh you see the issue here is... THEY HAVN'T BLOCKED ANY JOBS!!!

They have sent a letter saying that the Porterhouse were breaking the law. The porterhouse claim they havn't and the issue is being resolved.

If they are breaking the law and the Kerry CoCo shut them down, then that would be "blocking jobs" and they would be perfectly entitled to.

If you allow for crimes such as going outside the remit of planning permission then you might as well allow all "jobs", that create employment. If this happens i'll happily welcome you along to my Brothel... unless the Gárdaí shut me down, and "block the jobs" I was creating!

You did read the article you provided and other posts right?

It was an issue with Planning Permission. Just because there's a "possiblity of jobs on the way," doesn't mean regulations in place can be ignored.

Cut out the sensationalism and actually try thinking about what you are arguing over.

Maybe because the last time developers were given carte blanch they left falling down, unsafe eyesores all over the country.

Glad to see a Co. Co. actually doing its job for once.

It's funny at 9:55 this morning you posted this on another thread

"The distillery has applied for full retention which has not breached any planning regulations,The works that were carried out did not need planning.Well,thats my view of it...Also looking forward to Dingle Whiskey and have tasted the wonderful Dingle Gin & Dingle Distillery Vodka"

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=82162224

Then at 10:10 you posted on this thread

"Kerry County Council are trying to block The PorterHouse from commencing the distilling of Whiskey in Dingle which would create up to 20 jobs.

More foolish work from our prestigious government any new business starting should be getting help not putting roadblocks in the way.

Just to be clear are you advocating that any business creating 20+ jobs can breach planning regulations, if a Council believes (I accept they may be wrong) planning is breached they should ignore it if it creates jobs.

BTW I wish the PorterHouse well in their new venture, it's about time more independent distilleries started up in Ireland.

I really hope you are not an employee or otherwise connected to the Porterhouse as your posts are a PR disaster waiting to happen.

Having a relative working in the planning department, and being in a position to donate funds to the council coffers usually alleviates any planning problems in that neck of the woods. This happened when a Kerry quarry that was operating illegally, not to mention destroying a scenic area, somehow managed to get the legal go-ahead after flaunting the planning laws for years.

The 20 jobs are probably for interns so they don't count anyway.

Thread title should be changed to

Kerry Co Co upholds planning laws

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
