Irish Cement challenges compulsory purchase of its lands
Summary
In May 2016 Irish Cement Ltd filed a High Court challenge to a compulsory purchase order issued by An Bord Pleanála, which allowed Shannon Foynes Port Company to acquire 37.5 hectares of the cement company's land for harbour expansion. The company argues that An Bord failed to properly assess its constitutional property rights when granting the order. The court granted permission to proceed on an ex‑parte basis and placed a stay on the port company's actions under the order until the matter is decided. The case is scheduled for a June hearing.
