Court continues stay on construction of controversial Roscommon flood relief scheme

Image: PA Image: PA AN ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP has secured an injunction preventing any further construction works from taking place on a controversial Co Roscommon flood relief scheme until after the matter has been fully determined by the High Court.

The council also offered an undertaking, that if it was allowed to complete the construction works it would not pump any water from the lake pending further order of the court. FIE also seeks several declarations from the court including that the Council erred in law and has breached EU directives on Habitats and Environmental Impact Assessments by screening out the possibility that the proposed development will have significant effects on the local environment.

A subsequent claim by FIE that the council had breached the settlement agreement, and was in contempt of court, was rejected by the High Court. The judge said he was satisfied, based on the strength of FIE’s expert evidence to grant the injunction sought by the NGO.
