A couple in southwest Dublin have been granted permission to retain their external insulation after they had been told by the council that it was in breach of planning conditions six years after they installed it.
Clive and Samantha Ryan installed external insulation to their home in Kilnamanagh in an effort to tackle their high energy bills.
They said they were in “total shock” when before Christmas last year, they were notified by South Dublin County Council that their external insulation is in breach of planning conditions and that they must remove it by June or face a fine or imprisonment.
