• High Court halts flood relief pipeline works in Co Roscommon Other (judicial review – environmental planning; threat) · Co. Roscommon

  Friends of the Irish Environment (FIE) succeeded in a High Court judicial review to halt works on a flood relief scheme involving a 3km pipeline from Lough Funshinagh to Lough Ree, located 12km north of Athlone. The case, brought by FIE director Tony Lowes, was resolved before Mr Justice Garrett Simons on 25 August 2021, with Roscommon County Council consenting to orders quashing its decision to permit the works. The court was also told that a threat had been made against Lowes by persons linked to the Provisional IRA and/or Continuity IRA. The council agreed to carry out remedial works and pay FIE's costs.
