Mc Carthy v. Mc Grath - [2000] 1 IR 42
Judgment of Mr. Justice Geoghegan delivered the 15th day of May 1998
What has come before this Court is a preliminary question as to whether an application on notice for leave to seek Judicial Review of a decision of An Bord Pleanála to grant a planning permission is now out of time having regard to the provisions of Section 19(3) of the Local Government (Planning and Development) Act, 1992amending Section 82 of the Local Government (Planning and Development) Act, 1963.In brief, what happened was that a planning permission was granted by South Dublin County Council and an appeal was brought to An Bord Pleanála by three objectors, one of whom is the propósed Applicant in the intended Judicial Review proceedings. An Bord Pleanála upheld the decision of South Dublin County Council and the Applicant claims that the decision is invalid and can be judicially reviewed. He brought the motion on notice required under the new procedure and served it on Alan McGrath as representative of Shamrock Rovers Football Club, the developer and South Dublin County Council, the Planning Authority but the motion was not served on the two original co-appellants on the appeal to An Bord Pleanála. There are waiving any objection to non service and are not interested in participating in the proceedings. Furthermore, both of them have sworn affidavits stating that the substantive point at issue in the proposed Judicial Review application does not concern them and does not relate to any of the submissions they made at the appeal before An Bord Pleanála. Nevertheless, the Respondent and the two Notice Parties are all arguing that the application for Judicial Review is out of time and cannot be heard because those two co-appellants on the appeal to An Bord Pleanála were not served with the application for leave to bring the Judicial Review proceedings within the prescribed statutory time. They base this argument on the following:-
1. In K.S.K. Enterprises Limited -v- An Bord Pleanála, 1994 2 I.L.R.M. 1, Finlay C.J. delivering the unanimous judgment of the Supreme Court said the following at p.7:-
"I therefore conclude that the true interpretation of the Section is that it may be complied with by an application which has been made within the time limited in the sense that a notice of motion grounded as is provided in O.84 has been filed in the High Court and it has been served on all the mandatory parties...
