Objectors to €220m Cork-Ringaskiddy motorway consider options

Objectors to a €220m Cork motorway that has received approval from An Bord Pleanála say they will consider their options in the coming days — including potential court action — to prevent the development from going ahead.

An Bord Pleanála has given approval to the M28 Cork to Ringaskiddy motorway, a 12.5km development that links the Bloomfield Interchange on the N28 junction with the N40 South Ring road junction and the Port of Cork to the east of the village of Ringaskiddy.

The news has been welcomed by the Port of Cork, Cork County Council, and Cork Chamber.
