Apple Judicial Review on Athenry listed for next March

Apple has succeeded in its bid to fast track a legal challenge which has stalled its plan to build an €850 million data centre in Athenry.
Last month, two applications to seek a Judicial Review of the decision by An Bord Pleanála to allow the data centre, were granted in the High Court.
The matter was raised at a High Court hearing today where it was directed that the case will be heard through the commercial court process and must be concluded within six months.
The case concerning the two applications, is listed for hearing on March 21st next year, with a decision due in April.
Meanwhile, a third person, is also seeking a second Judicial Review – this case is due for mention in the High Court in the coming weeks.
