Donohoe lobbied for much-needed Macroom bypass

The minister said he was keen to see the bypass on the main Cork-Kerry N22 road “progressed” but emphasised it will have to be considered along with other national road proposals and depends on money being available.

The proposed 43km bypass, which will run from Ovens to Ballyvourney, was approved by An Bord Pleanala and was described by Mr Donohoe’s department as a “shovel-ready” project.
