The judicial review of Kilkenny County Council’s planning decision relating to the shopping centre came before the High Court on June 11.

The defendants were listed as Kilkenny County Council, Ireland (the State), and the Attorney General.
The matter came before Mr Justice Richard Humphreys and the case was adjourned for mention on Monday, June 22.
