Karen Walsh: High Court’s ruling on forestry project

This is a summary of a High Court case, based on a forestry application.

The rules surrounding new forestry plantations were the subject of a 2016 High Court case.

One neighbour (described as the applicant) contended that, because he wasn’t notified about the application, it should be denied (McCaffrey v Department of Agriculture, Food & Marine, and another [2016] IEHC 731).
