Cashel District Court ruled that Mr. Meehan had exhausted all legal options and deliberately violated planning laws.
A 67-year-old pensioner, Sean Meehan, is appealing a four-month prison sentence after being convicted for failing to comply with an order to demolish a log cabin he built without planning permission in Tipperary.
Cashel District Court ruled that Mr. Meehan had exhausted all legal options and deliberately violated planning laws.
Despite strong community support and political backing, Judge Brian O’Shea upheld the sentence, stating a deterrent was necessary.
However, Mr. Meehan has lodged an appeal, temporarily halting the order.
He continues to fight the case, arguing that the system is "broken".
