Parties to the main proceedings

Respondents: An Bord Pleanála, Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Ireland, Attorney General
Other parties: South Dublin County Council, An Taisce — The National Trust for Ireland, Save Our Bride Otters
Operative part of the judgment
Articles 12 and 16 of Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora
must be interpreted as meaning that a piece of national legislation intended to transpose those provisions into national law cannot be regarded as contrary to that directive on the ground that that piece of national legislation does not provide for (i) a development consent procedure which involves a decision by a competent authority determining whether it is necessary to apply for a derogation under Article 16 of the abovementioned directive because of matters identified following the grant of development consent to a project and/or whether surveys are required to that end or (ii) public participation in that derogation procedure.
