High Court has refused a certificate to appeal a judgment concerning a challenge to An Bord Pleanála's decision to grant planning permission for a change of use at a premises in Galway city. The court determined that the proposed points of law raised by the applicant did not meet the statutory requirements for an appeal, as they were neither points of exceptional public importance nor in the public interest to be brought before the Court of Appeal. The original decision, which found no material contravention of the Galway City Development Plan and deemed public notices and screening for appropriate assessment adequate, was thus upheld.
