Community leaders have welcomed the news that a decision on a massive sewage treatment plant in north Dublin has been delayed and have vowed to take their fight all the way to Europe.
A decision on whether to grant permission to build the monster plant in Clonshaugh was due today.
An Bord Pleanala confirmed to Dublin Live that this has been delayed until Friday, September 27.
A spokesman said the Inspector was still compiling a report on the development on the back of an oral hearing that was held relating to the project.
Locals have vowed to intensify their campaign against the plant and are prepared to take their case to the European courts if necessary.
Philip Swan of Portmarnock Drainage Awareness said he was pleased to hear the Inspector was taking her time compiling the report.
He said: "She's taking her time so she's obviously very thorough in what she's doing which is encouraging.
"It also gives us more time to get our case ready for judicial review and for the European court."
The proposed plant would be four times the size of Croke Park.
Campaigners fear the plant would have a devastating effect on the local environment and into Dublin Bay.
There are also concerns the plant would jeopardise Dublin Bay's status as the only UNESCO Biosphere in a capital city anywhere in the world.
Meanwhile, a bathing ban has been lifted at a number of south Dublin beaches.
The ban was put in place earlier this week after elevated levels of E. Coli and enterococci were found on the beach.
Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council said that the E.coli levels were most likely the result of the sewage overflow from the Ringsend treatment plant last Sunday.
A spokesman for the council said: "Following the re-opening of Seapoint and the Forty Foot yesterday, water quality results received this lunchtime for Sandycove Beach have shown that the water quality at the beach has returned to clean and normal.
“Following consultation with the HSE, all temporary bathing prohibition notices have been removed, today Friday 28 June. These areas are now safe to swim.
"All designated and non-designated bathing areas along the dlr coastline have been tested and proved clear, all are open and safe to swim in."
