Byrne expected to give evidence in planning case

BROADCASTER Gay Byrne will give evidence in the High Court this week in a case before the Commercial Court involving a multi-million euro claim over planning permission and proposed redevelopment of a site in Tallaght.

Mr Byrne is a member of a five man partnership which along with another five man partnership acquired a two acre site in Tallaght in the early 1990s and in 2003 became involved in the possibility of redeveloping the site.

The Wood Partnership of which Mr Byrne is a member and the White Partnership have sued Spain Courtney Doyle Commercial Ltd and its directors, David G Courtney and Bernard T Doyle.
