Moloney stands firm on €200m project conditions
Mr Moloney reiterated that a full traffic impact assessment was carried out and, as a result, it was decided road improvements were required to allow for such a development. His comments came just 24 hours after An Bord Pleanála refused permission to O’Flynn Construction to build more than 500 houses on the site near Glanmire.
When the council initially granted permission, it did so with a number of conditions. The council insisted the company would have to carry out some of the road improvements itself and, in addition, contribute to other road works in the area which the local authority would carry out. At an oral hearing last December, lawyers acting for O’Flynn Construction argued that building roads outside of the development itself was not within the company’s remit.
