Delight as long-awaited plans for motorway link go on display

A COMMUNITY which fought long and hard for a motorway connection is about to see “all its dreams come true” next Monday when plans for a junction connection are unveiled.

Last year the people of Buttevant were shocked to discover that it was the only town along the route not to have a link to the proposed 80km (M20) Cork-Limerick motorway, which is to be built at a cost of €800 million.

The community put forward a very forceful case for a junction connection at a lengthy Bord Pleanála hearing last July.
