An 84-year-old woman who lost a High Court action to prevent a major shopping centre being built in Galway has been ordered to pay costs which are estimated at over £200,000.

Permission was granted to Mr Patrick Joyce for the development. A judge is to hear submissions on November 2nd on whather whether to grant an appeal to the Supreme Court.
