Karen Walsh: Judicial Review is a long and tricky road

Last week, I described appealing a decision of the Planning Authority to grant or refuse planning permission, which is in the news following a recent High Court case. 

Cork County Council refused permission to grant planning permission to a developer, Cleanrath Windfarm Ltd, for construction of a windfarm, because it was considered that it would result in the destruction of a habitat of ecological value and have a major impact on the area.

The decision to refuse was appealed to An Bord Pleanala, and the decision to refuse was overturned.
