Thread. So An Bord Pleanala only want to pay 25% of my costs even though I won the case and they agreed at outset that I qualified for costs protection under environmental law. Not to mention the fact its a public interest case and is supported by public. #Aarhus convention. 1/ 
In another appeal hearing attached to this case, the night before the hearing I received a letter from Chief State solicitors office threatening to apply to have my cost protection removed if I proceeded with the case. Reluctantly due to this & other considerations I withdrew. 2/
We’re in court in the morning to try secure 100% costs in line with settled case law & high court rules. We are talking hundreds of thousands. Ordinary people taking extraordinary risk to ensure the law is correctly applied. Its no way to enforce environmental law. Wish me luck.
