Imam Ibrahim Ndure said the decision is painful - 'it's a very sad day, it's crushingly disappointing'
The Imam of Kilkenny has described a decision by An Bord Pleanála to reject plans for a mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre in Kilkenny city as "crushingly disappointing".
Imam Ndure said they have been renting the building they currently use for over a decade, and all they want is a place to call their own. He said they invited locals to a meeting to explain to them what the centre would be about but they got a lot of negative feedback.
