The following chronology is taken from the Judgement from the High Court on the Judicial Review. On 10 February, 1997, South Dublin County Council passed a resolution to lease land comprising approximately at Whitestown Way for the construction of a Stadium for Shamrock Rovers F.C. On 14 January, 1998, planning permission was granted and on 24 March, 2000, the lease was granted to Mulden International Limited. On 20 October, 2000, Mulden International Limited transferred their lease to Slonepark Company Limited to build the stadium and work commenced in October, 2000. Work ceased at the site in November, 2001, with the pitch and drainage laid, the main stand almost complete and other buildings in various states of completion. Following a prolonged period where no work was carried out at the stadium and a refusal by the Planning Authority in December 2004 to extend the lease the Council terminated the lease on 4 January, 2004. An examiner was appointed to Shamrock Rovers F.C. on 11 April, 2005, and the council engaged in discussions with the examiner regarding the completion of the stadium and its use by Shamrock Rovers Football Club when completed. Following the examinership process a supporters group, the '400 Club' took control of Shamrock Rovers and run the club today as the Shamrock Rovers Members Club. A public consultation process began on 18 July, 2005, to complete the soccer stadium at Sean Walsh Memorial Park. Thomas Davis CLG participated fully in the public consultation process. A county Managers report was presented to the council on 12 December, 2005, which provided for the increase of playing area to accommodate senior Gaelic games and other uses subject to allocation of funds from the Department of Arts, Sports and Tourism. The council then informed the Department of the resolution and request clarification regarding funding from the Department. A reply was received from the Department on 24 January, 2006, stating that the Minister could not agree to make funding available for the modified development. Acting on the Ministers response the Council voted in favour of proceeding with the original plans on 13 February, 2006. Thomas Davis GAA club instituted judicial review proceedings in the High Court in May, 2006. Their main argument was that the decision of the council on 13 February, 2006, to revert to the original plans for the stadium, which did not include a senior GAA pitch, was unlawful. Their submission
