High Court dismisses residents' bid to appeal Dublin Airport runway plans
Summary
In February 2018 the High Court dismissed an application by 22 North County Dublin residents who sought permission to appeal the Court of Appeal over plans for a new €320m runway at Dublin Airport. The residents had argued that the development was illegal and that Fingal County Council had failed to address their concerns about its impact on homes and land. Mr Justice Max Barrett ruled that the residents had not raised any points of exceptional public importance that would allow the Court of Appeal to consider their appeal. He expressed sympathy for the residents and respect for their fighting spirit, but found no grounds for the appeal. The residents may appeal directly to the Supreme Court. In a separate ruling the judge ordered the St Margaret's Concerned Residents Group and the DAA to pay their own legal costs.
