Residents may seek judicial review of motorway link

Residents in a Cork City suburb have said they may ultimately seek a judicial review over plans to develop a motorway from the outskirts of the city to Ringaskiddy amid claims they were not properly consulted.

The M28 Cork to Ringaskiddy Project would see the redevelopment and upgrading of the road on the existing route, with residents in the area claiming this will lead to significant noise and air pollution and safety concerns.

Cork Chamber of Commerce has supported the current plan, which is the subject of an environmental impact statement, to be completed shortly, and which will also be discussed at an oral hearing in the coming months.
