NRA criticised for lodging objection

THE National Roads Authority (NRA) has been severely criticised for objecting to a major office project in Cork which has the potential to create 1,500 jobs.

The NRA has within the last few days lodged what has been described as a “substantial and comprehensive” objection with An Bord Pleanála against John Cleary Developments’ €200 million office project in Mahon.

It is understood the authority is citing concerns about what it says is the inability of the local road network – close to the Jack Lynch Tunnel and the Dunkettle Interchange – to cope with increased traffic.
