Warning on impact of €180m Cork-Ringaskiddy motorway

The proposed €180m Cork-Ringaskiddy motorway will have a devastating impact on some properties, especially in the Rochestown area, according to concerned residents.

The stark claim has been made by a spokesman for the M28 steering group at a Bord Pleanála oral hearing into the project.

Gerard Harrington, on behalf of the steering group which represents 10,000 residents, said the impacts of the motorway will be most acutely felt in the Mount Oval and Bloomfield areas.
