An Taisce’s application for leave to appeal the High Court’s rejection of its challenge to permission for a controversial Glanbia continental cheese manufacturing plant in Kilkenny will be heard next month. Following a case management hearing on Monday, Mr Justice Richard Humphreys fixed June 15th to hear the leave application. The developer had suggested a “completely unrealistic ” timetable for exchange of submissions for the hearing of his application, counsel said. An Taisce seems to have decided to appeal without identifying the grounds of appeal which seemed “contrary to logic”, he added. That campaign, which challenged An Taisce’s very existence, had plagued his client over the past number of weeks, he said.
