    edit: incidentally, that park certainly isn't suitable as development land. It gets flooded. A lot. I've seen half of it under six feet of water (which is pretty dramatic when there are goalpots in the middle of it). Every new development surrounding it has been put on land elevated by at least six feet.
    Dartmouth Square is 3-4m below the normal level of the canal. :D

    Well O'Gara has just had his arse kicked in the High Court. (Irish Times report, sub needed)

    The injunction against using the square as a car park has been made permanent, he has had to pay costs of a grand (cheap) but best of all the judge wouldn't allow him to read a statement in court about a previous hearing on the matter because it was 'a vexatious rant.'

    Proper order judge!!!

    He sounds like he could be one of the Mods here. :D

    Say No to vexatious ranting.

    The report also implies that he has given up the idea of a constitutional challenge to the planning acts which enable compulsory purchases because it would cost him too much.

    Hopefully now the CPO can proceed, he can get a fair price for it (something between 10 and 20 grand) and he will go away and bother the good people of Dublin no more.
