An Taisce to continue appealing €69m upgrade of main Dingle road

An Taisce says its latest legal challenge to a €69m upgrade of the N86 main road to Dingle is “to ensure things are done properly”.

The organisation, which describes itself as the “National Trust for Ireland”, earlier this month lost a legal challenge, in the Commercial Court, against the improving and straightening of the narrow, winding road.

It is now seeking, at the Court of Appeal, to overturn that High court decision. An Taisce is also warning that “the EU Commission is watching this case very closely, as it concerns Ireland’s compliance with EU and international law”.
