United opposition to €180m M28 route

Residents and major industries in Ringaskiddy are united in their opposition to the proposed M28 motorway route as it will sever the Co Cork harbourside village.

Ringaskiddy Residents’ Association yesterday demanded planners should review original proposals, drawn up in 2008.

Residents’ spokesperson Peter Walter told day two of a Bord Pleanála oral hearing the original plan was to route the motorway around the village, instead of ploughing through the village centre.
