Ballyshannon Action gets leave for Judicial Review of Kilsaran decision

Ballyshannon Action Group has been granted leave by Judge Humphreys to proceed with their Judicial Review case at the High Court. This follows years of legal discussion and various court dates.

A date has not yet been set for this Judicial Review hearing, which will give the group’s legal team the opportunity to outline all of the various reasons why An Bord Pleanala's decision to overturn Kildare County Council's denial of planning permission for Kilsaran's quarry development at Racefield was incorrect and at odds with planning regulations. 

Meantime, Ballyshannon Action is going full steam ahead with fundraising to cover the legal costs in this important battle for the people of Ballyshannon and the surrounding areas, which are already choked with HGV traffic from Kilsaran's three other facilities in the wider Kilcullen area. 

The fundraising includes a Golf Classic on Friday the 6th of June: Book your Tee Times here. Prizes include 4 balls for the K Club, Cill Dara and Rathsallagh Golf Clubs and a few more great surprises. A range of sponsorship opportunities are available at various price points and the community would be very grateful for your support. Sponsor a Tee. You can also buy raffle tickets at this link. 

And finally, if you'd simply like to contribute, their GoFundMe page is available here.  Or you can deposit directly into Ballyshannon Action’s Kilcullen Credit Union Account here: IBAN: IE67KIRI99217910372756. 

The Ballyshannon Action Group was formed in 2019 to protect their rural area from unsuitable development and improve and conserve their biodiversity and  local environment.
