Community increasingly hopeful of securing motorway link

A BATTLING community has expressed increased confidence it will get a connection to a proposed €800 million motorway.

Despite claims made by the National Roads Authority (NRA) that Buttevant doesn’t warrant a full junction connection to the Cork-Limerick motorway, the community feels it may have persuaded a Bord Pleanála hearing of the necessity for one.

Experts representing Buttevant Community Council put forward a strong case on the closing day of the hearing to inspector Danny O’Connor.
