Casement Park residents allowed their hearts rule their heads

Last Wednesday afternoon the Mooreland/Owenvarragh Residents Association had their proverbial day in court.

Against considerable odds, they took on the Department of the Environment and won. Planning permission for Casement Park was denied. It was a victory for the little guys.

As ever, the lawyers were the main winners. While the residents enjoyed a triumph, they will still have a considerable legal bill to pay.
