The High Court has dismissed a challenge brought against a decision to grant planning permission for a windfarm in the Wicklow Mountains.

The judicial review action was taken by Fred Roache, and his mother Frances, whose family have farmed their lands at Killaduff, Aughrim in Co Wicklow for several generations over concerns about the impact the proposed development would have on the family's drinking water supply.
