Michael and Edel Mulvihill's action over alleged landfill nuisance was continuing in the High Court, as reported on 29 March 2017. The couple claimed odours from the Ballynagran landfill in Co Wicklow forced them to leave their home and seek damages for alleged negligence, breach of duty and nuisance.

The defendants included companies linked to ownership, operation and transport at the site. Some defendants did not defend the claim, while Ballynagran Landfill Ltd and Grunberg Ltd denied liability and argued the claims were statute barred; the hearing was continuing.

This report covers an earlier stage of the case. Later developments are not reported here.
