First Brexit, Now This! –

Jan. 25, 2020 – Narconon, which has close links to Scientology, promotes the theories of its founder L Ron Hubbard, including the ‘Purification Rundown’ to rid the body of toxins. The controversial procedure involves ingesting a high dose of vitamins before entering a sauna for up to five hours.

The facility was originally intended to be used as a nursing home. Claire O’Mara, of the Ballivor Community Group, said although they were ‘overwhelmingly disappointed’ by the decision, they would fight on if they could. … “I’m gutted. We literally put our heart and soul into it for over two years and this is like a kick in the teeth to us.

“We will now have to study the 72-page judgment but as far as I can gather An Bord Pleanála can appeal this judgment. We will also look into the possibility of taking our own judicial review, depending on time deadlines. But if there’s a will, there’s a way and there is a will so we will fight on if we can,” she said.
