The High Court has reserved judgment on a challenge to planning conditions allowing public access to the Old Head of Kinsale, Co Cork, where a £8 million golf course opened in 1997.

Ashbourne Holdings Ltd, South Mall, Cork, developer of the golf course, brought the judicial review proceedings before Mr Justice Kearns against An Bord Pleanala and Cork County Council.

It wants to quash a decision of the board of October 1997 when, in determining Ashbourne's appeal against certain conditions imposed by the council in June 1997, it directed the council to attach certain other conditions.
