      So will it be demolished, or sold to recoup any of the legal fees sent fighting this case?.

      I wonder what we’re the grounds to refuse the retention application other than „your house is too big so we do not like it“.

      We we just can’t let live people however they want if they have means to do so? The article mentions they they were refused planning on the past for two separate houses. Wouldn’t it be better to just let people build in an era when there is not enough houses for everyone?

      wow so the Siege of Bohermeen has finally ended insane it took 20 years

      With the amount this couple have spent on legal fees in the last 20 years they could have bought themselves a mansion that had planning permission.

      As long as they have it seized off these two chancers to make an example that’s the main thing or everyone with a bit of money would do this. Doesn’t matter if it’s knocked or even converted into a council house. 

      In fact if it was it would be hilarious for the owners to look at it.

      About bloody time!

      Although ironic at the same time the government are wanting to dilute one off rural housing planning laws.

      The irony of this whole situation is they spent two decades fighting the system through lawyers and the courts, when in Ireland planning is usually more about quietly navigating things than going to war with the council.

      Anyone who’s dealt with planning here knows the system can work in… mysterious ways once a local councillor or TD starts making enquiries on your behalf. Not corruption or anything dramatic, just the very Irish “have a word” culture where a file suddenly gets attention, questions get asked, and things move differently.

      Can’t say I’m not enjoying a bit of schadenfreude now though!

      Not sure I agree with demolishing a house in a housing crisis. Planning is way too restrictive in this country, such wasted resources on this whole debacle

      I believe they get to knock the house and have to hand the land back to the owners.

      But they’ll just bring yet another legal dispute. Legal system is a joke. That house has cost taxpayers millions at this stage.

      Council should apply to themselves for planning permission, grant it, then sell the house to recoup losses.

      They should be charged for the demolition and clean up of the site, wasting that much time and money.

      The original application was for a much smaller house, and from what I could find the reason to refuse that was a bit weak. They couple then decided to do it anyway and built a way bigger house.

      The couple were totally in the wrong, but it’s a bit shit the council refused what would have been a modest enough house to begin with

      In unrelated news.. there mid 20s son is currently building a fine sized house..

      That’s a long time.

      Any update on on the 65 houses that was built in Wicklow without permission.
