About bloody time.
Hopefully, the house is finally demolished.
Happy with this result.
Finally this saga is over
So will it be demolished, or sold to recoup any of the legal fees sent fighting this case?.
Why the fuck would anyone want a house that size?
I wonder what we’re the grounds to refuse the retention application other than “your house is too big so we do not like it”.
We we just can’t let live people however they want if they have means to do so? The article mentions they they were refused planning on the past for two separate houses. Wouldn’t it be better to just let people build in an era when there is not enough houses for everyone?
Jezus was that still going on? Fucking neck on those folks
Usually the houses that make Meath are a bit more rough around the edges
wow so the Siege of Bohermeen has finally ended insane it took 20 years
I get you can’t just build willy nilly but this is a bit extreme. Could you not just fine them or make them leave the house to council when they pass on or something.
With the amount this couple have spent on legal fees in the last 20 years they could have bought themselves a mansion that had planning permission.
As long as they have it seized off these two chancers to make an example that’s the main thing or everyone with a bit of money would do this. Doesn’t matter if it’s knocked or even converted into a council house.
In fact if it was it would be hilarious for the owners to look at it.
About bloody time!
Although ironic at the same time the government are wanting to dilute one off rural housing planning laws.
They must have finally run out of appeals that they could lodge.
New IPAS center incoming as a massive FU to the couple
I’d love a livestream to be set up for the demolition!
Fuck this country that’s a beautiful home leave them to it
The irony of this whole situation is that they spent two decades fighting the system through lawyers and courts, when in Ireland that’s often the least effective way to deal with planning.
Anyone who’s dealt with planning here knows the system can work in… mysterious ways once a local councillor or TD starts making enquiries on your behalf. Not corruption or anything dramatic, just the very Irish “have a word” culture where a file suddenly gets attention, questions get asked, and things move differently.
Can’t say I’m not enjoying a bit of schadenfreude now though!
