A Kerry couple have won a High Court challenge over the use of a laneway beside their home which has been at the centre of a long running row over access to a scenic lake.

Cornelius and Suzanne Dennehy, who live and farm near Fossa village in Co Kerry, are entitled to an order quashing the August 2018 decision of An Bord Pleanála declaring that a gate they erected at the entrance to lands they own requires planning permission.
