Judicial review applicant on South Kerry Greenway undecided about appeal

One of the applicants who sought a judicial review on the South Kerry Greenway is yet to decide if he’ll appeal the High Court’s decision.

Judicial reviews sought by the Greenway Information Group and farmer James Clifford, along with environmentalist Peter Sweetman, were dismissed yesterday.

The legal actions challenged An Bord Pleanála’s decision in granting permission to Kerry County Council for the greenway and the accompanying compulsory purchase order for the lands needed.

The decision to dismiss by Mr Justice Richard Humphreys means the project can now proceed, pending any appeals to the Supreme Court within three weeks.

Mr Sweetman has told Radio Kerry he’s yet to decide if he’ll seek leave to appeal the High Court’s decision.
