High Court dismisses the applicant's judicial review claims against the State respondents due to inordinate and inexcusable delay, where the applicant had challenged a decision by An Bord Pleanála regarding planning permission for a dwelling house, but failed to engage with the proceedings for over three years, the court finding the delay unacceptable, particularly in a case involving public law measures, and emphasising the need for timely administration of justice.
