Thomas Davis GAA club lost the judicial review on Tallaght Stadium.
Some very emotional Rovers people in High Court as their destiny is now in their own hands.
Congrats to all concerned

Love to see that in Croker!!!!!!
Justice at last. Can TD appeal the decision.
Due to the nature of the dismissal only to the supreme court & within a period of 4 weeks, hopefully they'll cop on to the futility of such a move & just f**k off once & for all!

Yes! If we assume there are no further hold-ups (bare with me for a moment), how soon could Shams be playing in Tallaght? Next March?

This is a victory not just for Rovers for the the entire future of the league.
The turnaround started when the fans took control of the club and this is a huge further step along the way of recovery from 21 years of hurt.

(Perhaps merge with this thread - http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=79114 and change the title to "Rovers win court case" - thread title sound like Rovers won a game, not a legal battle)

Just came from the courts. It couldn't possibly have gone better according to our barrister. Hopefully now we can sting them with one whopper of a legal bill, dating right back to us seeking to be party to proceedings. The irony is fantastic. By delaying and delaying they've probably added a zero to their over all bill. They increased their own costs and by default our costs and the SDCC's cost. Now they'll have the pleasure of footing the entire bill, for everyone. It just doesn't get any sweeter.
Not surprisingly the people who argued so vociferously in favour of the GAA now admit that they never really cared. The frustration of listening to people arguing to the high heavens about something they neither know nor care about is indescribable. Anyway, thank God it's all over.
And finally, take a moment to remeber David Kennedy's Last Man Standing comment. He'll be the last man standing in the queue at AIB when he has to remortgage his gaff! What a cnut! What a day!
See yiz all in Tallaght in 2009.

Hoops Hail High Court Win
Press Release Issued : 14 Dec 2007
HOOPS HAIL HIGH COURT WIN
Today the High Court ruled in favour of South Dublin County Council and against Thomas Davis GAA club in the Judical Review of the Tallaght community stadium.
This means that work can resume on the site and that Shamrock Rovers can look forward to moving into the stadium some time between the end of the 2008 and the start of the 2009 season.
Says Shamrock Rovers Chairman Jonathan Roche: "Obviously this is the news we were hoping for and it's fantastic for everyone involved at Shamrock Rovers.
"I want to thank everyone who supported us along the way, from the South Dublin County Council to the various politicians and the FAI - and of course our great fans.
"It's been 20 years since we lost Milltown, so we're at the end of a long struggle. It's a great testament to the fans that they remained loyal and they deserve this so much.
"It's just a relief to think that Rovers will finally have a home. We can start dreaming again, and carry on with the rebuilding process that began at the club two years ago."

Whilst all of the above is an accurate summation of what happened this morning... TD still have the right to lodge an appeal...however based on the strenght of the judgement hard to see how they would as the cost of a Supreme Court visit would be astronomical on top of hopefully all their and hopefully everyones elses costs that hace accrued so far.Would expect that they'll reach the right decison and advise that they aren't appealing by Mid Jnuary next.
note to Postman, don't worry about Kennedy...rejoice in the moment

Well done to everyone at Rovers. Let's not forget the role of John O'Donoghue in the result- despite being from a staunch GAA background , he has stood up to the GAA on this, and deserves every praise.
Yes- that's a good point. He played a blinder on this issue.

Thats a backhanded compliment if I ever saw one, "well done on winning your court hearing, can't wait til ye get relegated next year" :)

14/12/2007, 12:32 PM
YES!!!!
Sorry I've been pretty emotional since I heard the news....
whos funding the completion of the stadium and when is it expected to be finished? are they going to open it as soon as they have that one stand finished?
Shamrock Rovers FC and SDCC are funding/already funded it... Completion date is set at 6 to 9 months of the builders being back on site as far as I know :D
In retaliation to Dave Kennedy's bigoted "we'll be the last Man" standing comment:
Shamrock Rovers FOOTBALL Club - The Last Man Standing.
or....
The Beautiful Game - The Last Sport Standing
Finally an end to this pointless effort to delay and destroy the stadium, the judge obviously saw some sense. This is the best news Shamrock Rovers have had in 20 years.
May justice forever prevail in the face of bigotry

The Football Association of Ireland today welcomed the decision of the High Court in relation to the Tallaght Stadium.
The Association believes that the decision of Justice Roderick Murphy to refuse the relief sought by the applicant will greatly aid the speed at which this project can be completed.
A spokesman said: “We are very pleased with the outcome and we would like to congratulate Shamrock Rovers and South Dublin County Council. Today is a great day for Shamrock Rovers and for the supporters who have worked tirelessly to bring the club to Tallaght. This stadium is a vital project for Irish football and we believe that today brings us a huge step forward towards completing the stadium and having Shamrock Rovers playing eircom League of Ireland football in Tallaght.”
