‘This judicial review challenge may, foreseeably, ultimately prove to be the first major staging post in a lengthy legal struggle on the part of all opposed to Dalradian’s proposed gold mining at Curraghinalt. The evidence shows that a former Minister of the Northern Ireland Executive has promised a public inquiry and, irrespective, all objectors have a statutory right to make representations opposing the proposed development and, in certain eventualities, to bring further legal challenges. On one view, the real battle has just begun in earnest.’
