A group of conservationists, incorporating as Lancefort Limited, Co. No. 258460 is successfully opposing this scheme in the High Court on legal grounds which include that Bord Pleanala operated unconstitutionally and in breach of EU law. Lancefort's legal advice is that there is a strong likelihood that the Irish Courts that An Bord Pleanala unlawfully in failing to direct their mind as to whether or not there should have been an environmental impact assessment involving the public. In the High Court Lancefort was awarded leave for judicial review but the High Court also said that in order to continue its action Lancefort need to provide £20,000 as a bond.
