September 22nd 2014:

We thank the Supreme Court for sitting at such short notice, thereby acknowledging the seriousness of the issues involved.

We asserted that the presence of causeways in the river is causing environmental damage. Kilkenny County Council have now agreed to remove the causeways before the Winter.

This will be done as soon as possible, under the external supervision of an environmental consultant.

The Supreme Court did not affirm the High Court rulings of September 15 and we are delighted that this now ensures the full hearing will proceed on October 20.
