BROADCASTER Pat Kenny has said he is “delighted” that planning permission has been refused to what he described as “a huge block of concrete surrounded by 11 gardens" close to his home.

Mr Kenny was reacting to the planning refusal issued by An Coimisitin Pleandla for a planned five-storey 104-unit nursing home by developer Richard Barrett's Bartra on lands adjacent to the Kenny home in Dalkey in south Dublin.

In an interview, Mr Kenny said: “I was delighted that the new Coimiisin Pleanala has seen the light of day."

The fate of a local badger sett formed part of the opposition by the Kennys to the scheme and Mr Kenny said that the badgers are “happily alive”.
