Objectors to Cork-Ringaskiddy motorway complain about short notice of hearing

Objectors to a proposed €180m motorway in Cork have been given less than three weeks notice to prepare a case against it.

Bord Pleanála has set nine working days aside for an oral hearing into the proposed Cork-Ringaskiddy (M28) motorway, which will get underway at the Ambassador Hotel on the northside of Cork City on November 7.

The short notice given by the planning appeals board and its choice of venue for the hearing have been strongly criticised by a county councillor.
