Judge dismisses challenge to housing development after residents fail to include names and addresses in appeal

A failure to include the names and addresses of residents objecting to housing in north Dublin meant their appeal against the development was invalid, the High Court ruled.

Mr Justice Denis McDonald dismissed a challenge by an agent acting on behalf of residents of St Michael's Cottages in Balgriffin to An Bord Pleanála's decision last March to declare invalid an objection to Cairn Homes' plan for 64 house and 32 apartments at Parkside, west of St Michael's.
