More than 100 objections expected to dual carriageway
Already 21 objections have been lodged Bord Pleanála confirmed, from individuals issued with compulsory purchase orders (CPO). Three families are to lose their homes to make way for the new road and 267 farmers have been ordered to surrender part of their lands.
No objection has so far been submitted in relation to the Environmental Impact Study (EIS) which accompanied plans for the 64km route. While only those who have to give up land for the 64km road project can object to the CPO process, anyone who has a concern with the EIS can raise an objection to that report before the deadline of April 15.
