The Indo Daily: Demolition Deadline - Meath family's 20-year battle to save their home
Briefly

Rose and Chris Murray constructed their home in Bohermeen in 2007 without obtaining planning permission. Over nearly 20 years, they encountered a protracted legal battle with Meath County Council, who rejected five retention applications for the house. These applications included proposals for partial demolition to comply with regulations. Both the High Court and the Supreme Court ultimately ruled against the Murrays, mandating that the entire structure be demolished. Recently, An Coimisiún Pleanála denied another retention request, and the Court of Appeal dismissed their challenge to the demolition order.
