O'Flynn Construction has been ordered to pay the legal costs of An Bord Pleanála’s application to the High Court to have the company's challenge to a new land tax struck out.

Mr Justice Anthony Barr said he was not satisfied the challenge by Michael O'Flynn's firm was a test case and he therefore awarded costs to An Bord Pleanála.
