Glenveagh’s highly contested €8m claim against two Co Meath residents who have objected to many of its planning applications raises “complex issues”, a High Court judge has said.

In a judgment, Mr Justice Richard Humphreys explained why he refused to accede to a strike-out request from defendants Pat Lynch and Denise Leavy, both with addresses in Batterstown, Proudstown, Navan, Co Meath.
