Dunnes Stores lost its appeal at the Court of Appeal on 6 October 2017, clearing the way for a 200,000sq ft extension to The Square shopping centre in Tallaght. The court upheld the High Court finding that permitted the development, while the case was adjourned over a possible further appeal and costs.

Dunnes had argued that construction on the northern car park would inconvenience shoppers and claimed rights over the land. The appeal court found that the relevant licence did not create proprietary rights for the retailer and dismissed its claims.
