The Supreme Court has today overturned a High Court decision by ruling that opponents of the Corrib gas pipeline are out of time to challenge the validity of the compulsory acquisition orders.

The decision allows planning consent to be granted to Shell to build the pipe.

The legal action began as a counterclaim to a case by Shell against several opponents for obstructing the development.
