Kildare farmer objects to €8bn Intel investment...

When an outsider comes in to Ireland and tries to wrestle land out from under the Irish against their will, it isn't going to go down well.

Nationally this is our history, having spend 800 years under the jackboot of foreign usurpers , naturally we are going to resist any attempt at the same craic again on a smaller scale with the outsiders being dressed up as friendly multinationals and the Ida. With their environmental shenanigans and trickery they have shown their true colours.

Anyone know the answer to this?

You admitted it yourself in post #826. Plans had to be changed.

Can you point out where I said he won?

I'm stating that TR succeeded in his objectives to delay and frustrate Intel during the planning process. Plans had to be changed and revised and resubmitted which were all part of the tactics.

Personally I couldn't give two hoots about one farmer in the arsehole of nowhere to me in Kildare or Intel either. I'm merely disagreeing with you saying nothing went in his favour.

His objective since day one stretches far beyond just delaying and frustrating the company - obviously good from his perspective in and of themselves but ultimately it is still being built throughout his latest appeals so largely ineffective these past few years. He justifiedly blames them for the stress and difficulties he's experienced since initiating his 1st case, which are all well documented and undoubtedly do have evidence. He blames them for a litany of enviromental issues none of which have had any foundation of supports.

He wants the company gone, so from his perspective I'd expect that he sees this ruling as a loss.

Will he appeal to the EU though? Thats the real question for me and it remains to be seen, but I wouldn't put it past him. He, or someone around him, appears to have deep pockets.

Going by the initial rambling handwritten letter he used as his first objection to Kildare CC he isn't preparing submissions and documents for court himself, and he certainly isn't representing himself in front of any judge so he has to have a legal team.

But yes he clearly spends much of his time doing his research as he doesn't seem to spend too much time in his day farming.
