Developers are used to battling to overcome local opposition before they can win planning permission and get on with their schemes. But in Donegal they seem to do things differently.
According to the Sunday Times, hundreds of people from the town are threatening to form a picket line outside the Dublin headquarters of An Bord Pleanala in protest at delays to the town's new shopping centre.
More than 1,200 people attended a meeting in the town and about 900 of them petitioned the planning board calling for either or both the planned developments to go ahead.
Both proposals have been rejected by the planning board but the locals say the delay is holding back the economic development of the town.
Wonder if the tactic would work elsewhere?
