Sinead Fitzpatrick and Allan Daly were refused an appeal against an Apple data centre ruling in the High Court on 1 November 2017.

Mr Justice Paul McDermott refused their application for a certificate, saying the case raised neither a point of law of exceptional public importance nor an issue where an appeal would be in the public interest.

The residents had argued that An Bord Pleanala should have assessed the environmental impact of a wider masterplan for eight data halls, rather than only one data hall. The judge said much of their argument sought to reargue issues already considered by the planning inspector and the High Court.
