Bypass ‘worth €90m to Mallow’

A consultancy report, which shows that a bypass route, on the northern side of Mallow, would be worth €90m to the north Cork town, has been delivered to Transport and Tourism Minister, Paschal Donohue.

The report was completed by Indecon International Economic Consultants. It was commissioned by the Mallow Representative Group (MRG), a collaboration between Mallow Chamber of Commerce, Mallow Development Partnership, local industries and businesses.

The minister recently ruled out a proposed bypass for the traffic-choked town. But it is hoped the report, which also has the backing of Cork County Council, will change his mind.
