The promoters of last year's two-day rock music festival at Fairyhouse racecourse, Co Meath, have secured leave from the High Court to challenge a decision by An Bord Pleanala that the event was not exempted development and did require planning permission.
Mr Justice Finnegan yesterday granted leave to three applicants to seek an order quashing the Bord Pleanala decision of November 24th, 2000. The applicants are Fairy house Club Ltd, Ontario Terrace, Rathmines; Wonderland Promoters Ltd, Wellington Park, Belfast; and MCD Management Services Ltd, Park Road, Dun Laoghaire.
