Water case complex and important, says judge

A judge described legal proceedings being brought by a small rural community against a local authority and An Bord Pleanála as “very complex and important for all concerned’’.

An action by people in Bonane, Co Kerry, against Kerry County Council and the planning appeals board was due to start at the Circuit Court, in Killarney, yesterday, and was expected to take three to four days.

However, the hearing was adjourned by Judge Pauline Codd to allow for an exchange of documents between the parties.
