Hellfire Club group resolves action after SIPO withdraws referral to gardaí

A High Court challenge by a residents group against a decision by the Standards in Public Office Commission to refer to the gardaí an alleged breach of political lobbying law over opposition to a plan to build an interpretive centre at Dublin's Hellfire Club has been resolved.

The action was brought by a group called Save the Hellfire Club, along with Rathfarnham's Massy Woods Residents Association, who oppose South Dublin Co Council's plan to develop a €22m interpretive centre at Irish Hellfire Club in the Dublin Mountains.
