Environmentalists opposed planning permission for Indaver facility in Ringaskiddy

The judge was satisfied the work done by Mr Boland had a “clear, rational and cogent” connection with Indaver’s application to the board for permission for the development of the waste to energy facility at Ringaskiddy.

He also found in favour of the group in relation to certain arguments made concerning the interpretation of Strategic Infrastructure Development provisions of the 2000 Planning Act. David Holland SC, for the applicants, said on Friday, arising from the judgment, his side would be seeking that the permission be quashed.

The judge said he would “need a lot of persuasion” to reach a conclusion he should quash the permission without returning the matter for reconsideration by the board but said he hoped to have final orders determined quickly after hearing submissions.
