Developer seeks 'extraordinary' injunction against residents opposed to development

Summary

Atlas GP, part of the Marlet group, is seeking an extraordinary injunction to stop eight South County Dublin residents from challenging An Bord Pleanala's July 8 decision that granted the developer planning permission for 255 residential units and a childcare facility on Church Road, Killiney. The residents, who live on Church Road and Watson Road, argue that the permission amounts to over‑development and that the injunction is an abuse of process and an example of strategic litigation against public participation. Atlas claims the residents have broken champerty and maintenance rules, that they are being funded by third parties, and that a local flyer was circulated to encourage such funding. Atlas seeks the injunction, orders to disclose the names of funders, damages, and a declaration that the challenge is funded by third parties with no legitimate interest. The residents' counsel argues the injunction is improper and seeks to set it aside.
