A Meath couple have lost their final fight to stop their house from being demolished.  Rose and Chris Murray built their home in Bohermeen, near Navan, Co Meath, in 2007 without planning permission. What followed was a near 20-year legal saga with Meath County Council, as the couple exhausted every avenue to keep their unauthorised home.  This week the family were refused retention by An Coimisiún Pleanála, while the Court of Appeal also dismissed their legal challenge to the demolition order. But is this the end of the road for the Murrays and their dream home?

Proceedings at Dublin’s High Court have now drawn to a close in the fallout from a handshake deal gone sour. At stake – the centuries old 750-acre Barne Estate in Tipperary, which both Magnier and Regan lay claim to.
