Plans and CPOs for Cork-Ringaskiddy link to be submitted by new year

DETAILED plans and Compulsory Purchase Orders (CPOs) for a multi-million-euro road from Cork to Ringaskiddy are to be submitted to the board of the National Roads Authority (NRA) early next year.

Concern had been raised that the road project was sidelined after Bord Pleanála’s refusal to allow the Port of Cork authority relocate to a new terminal in Ringaskiddy.

The proposed move was one of the key factors in Cork County Council plans for building the new road.
