Kenmare Community Gardens closed?

po0k

Yesterday I gave a lift to a guy who was down in Kenmare with his girlfriend (a local) last week.
He said that the local community garden, in which people grow their own crops, has been closed by the owners, possibly at the behest of the council, and he said the only reason he heard was that someone had had a bbq down there?

Has anyone heard anything about this?
Could someone clarify the story?
I haven't found anything online yet.

That's about as much as I've seen of it.
Seems to have been started up and then shutdown.

was told something about it recently but i think it's proven to be less effective than previously thought; not sure the council are involved though
