"A former attorney general is seeking permission to appeal the High Court's dismissal of his challenge to planning approval granted for a long-delayed bypass road in Co Meath."
"In his action, John Rogers, a senior counsel, argued that An Coimisiún Pleanála (ACP) did not have access to sufficient expertise required to examine certain environmental impacts of the proposed N2 bypass at Slane when it granted permission to Meath County Council for the development."
John Rogers, a senior counsel and former attorney general, is seeking permission to appeal after the High Court dismissed his challenge to planning approval for the N2 bypass at Slane in Co Meath. The planning permission was granted to Meath County Council by An Coimisiún Pleanála (ACP). Rogers argued that ACP lacked access to sufficient expertise to examine certain environmental impacts associated with the proposed bypass. The challenge concerns whether the planning authority had the necessary expertise when it assessed and approved the development despite the project’s long delay.
