don't breath in on the way by in a dart so.
Latest from today's Indo:
THE developers behind the new Lansdowne Road stadium have succeeded in fasttracking a legal hearing into the future of the the €365m project, claiming any delay could cost up to €1.2m a month.
Dublin 4 residents launched two separate legal actions earlier this year calling for a judicial review of the planning permission for the stadium's development.
Yesterday, Lansdowne Road Stadium Development Company (LRSDC) succeeded in having one case transferred into the big business division of the High Court, where cases take an average of just nine weeks to deal with, despite objections from the residents who took the case.
The second case could not be admitted today because the LRSDC had not given adequate notice to all the residents involved. However, Justice Peter Kelly said he would consider admitting it next Monday.
Set up in 2004, the commercial court is the fastest court in the land, but its procedures can be extremely demanding and expenses can rack up very quickly.
A number of local residents were in court yesterday to urge the judge not to admit the case to the commercial list, while representatives for the LRSDC, Dublin City Council and An Bord Pleanala said they were in favour of the transfer. "The CEO of Lansdowne tells us this project is of a scale and size that it is essential that every effort be made to complete it on time and on budget," said Justice Kelly, before agreeing to admit it.
This case was brought by locals Brian O'Keeffe and Rosemarie Loftus of Lansdowne Road, who want the decision granting permission for the demolition of the existing stadium and the construction of a multimillion-euro purpose stadium quashed.
They will also be seeking a stay on the works until the final determination of their challenge. In the proceedings against An Bord Pleanala, the couple claim that the board failed to address the impact of the development on their property rights.
The second broader case, brought by Kevin McMahon and Mariaelena Byrne of O'Connell Gardens, Sandymount, Dublin, also looks to quash the stadium's planning permission. The case is more complex because it also argues that certain sections of the Planning and Development Act 2000 are incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights in failing to provide for compensation where property is devalued by implementation of the planning permission.
Delaying the redevelopment at Lansdowne could cost '€1.2m per month'
The court heard that the total budget for the project is about €365m. In addition, the State has committed €191m. Demolition and site clearance began last month and the date set for completion is the end of 2009.
In an affidavit, the Chairman of the LRSDC and Chief Executive of the IRFU, Philip Browne, said he supported the application to have the case admitted to the commercial list.
A total of €25m has been spent on the project to date.
He said it was envisaged that the project inflation for delays was likely to be between €1.2m and €1.5m per month. He claimed any delay would have serious repercussions for rugby and soccer generally as the IRFU would have no grounds for holding international matches.
Honest! I am not a secret Tim nor a closet Sham - I really am a Seagull.
FFS everyone is using the "denial of human rights" defence these days.
It's quite annoying, as it devalues more genuine uses of the phrase.
Apparently Denis O'Brien trying in the European Court of Justice due to Tribunals hassles. I read that the European Court of Justice tend to stay away from these as they have bigger fish to fry & Irelands constitution fairly robust already.Originally Posted by John83
Are they going to have to close the dart line for awhile during construction? and also, whats the plan for the dart line when work is finished, will the whole stadium be moved further over, or is it goin under the stand or what?
I believe the Dart will be lifted up above the road. Whatever the actual way they are implementing it there will be no need for dart gates on Lansdowne Road in future which obviously will be huge benefit to everyone.
The whole stadium is being moved. I think the plan is to leave the west stand there until the end to shield the Dart from the construction.
I don't think you're correct, Pete.
My understanding is that they plan to construct an underpass, which will provide access under the existing Dart line.
They level crossing will be left intact, but during events, the gates will remain shut, as traffic restrictions will be in place.
This will greatly reduce any disruption to train services, during events at the stadium.
With regard to the cases being brought against the LRSDC, those people are obviously motivated by greed! They currently have an eyesore in their neighbourhood, which was probably there before they were, yet they claim that a state-of-the-art stadium, will impact negatively on the price of their property. Perhaps they'd prefer a couple office towers instead?
Have Boot Disk, will travel
The residents were unhappy because their case was being held too quickly. Says it all about their motivations.Yesterday, Lansdowne Road Stadium Development Company (LRSDC) succeeded in having one case transferred into the big business division of the High Court, where cases take an average of just nine weeks to deal with, despite objections from the residents who took the case.
SIGNATURESCOPE
Yes, I think there'll be pedestrian access without being delayed by the DART gates but road traffic will still have to use the level crossing as now.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
steps of the court job today, but all is settled, no stopping it now......go to pix in media gallery of aerial demolition shots.....WOW! www.lrsdc.com

Not much left now.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Iarnrod Eireann has granted a continuous possession of the rail to LRSDC over the bank holiday weekend. During this period trains will not operate. It is proposed to commence the construction activities on Friday 26th October at 18.00hrs and work continuously through the weekend until 07.00hrs on Tuesday 30th October. These works are required to erect the structure of the new covered way (podium) over the rail as well as the new underpass below the rail tracks. For the safety of the traveling public as well as the construction workers these works can only be carried out when trains are not running.
What exactly will the underpass be? Surely they can't do much in 4 days.
