FRIENDS OF THE IRISH ENVIRONMENT CLG
APPLICANT
AND
ROSCOMMON COUNTY COUNCIL
IRELAND AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
RESPONDENT
EX TEMPORE JUDGMENT delivered by Mr. Justice Garrett Simons on 28 January 2022
This ruling is delivered in respect of an interlocutory application seeking to restrain the carrying out of development works pending the hearing and determination of these judicial review proceedings. The proceedings question the validity of an order made by the chief executive of Roscommon County Council on 14 October 2021. I will refer to this order as “ the impugned order”. The impugned order purports to authorise the carrying out of what is described as interim flood relief works.
