Brennan: M50 will be finished on time

Transport Minister Seamus Brennan today expressed confidence the M50 motorway around Dublin will be completed by autumn next year, despite unresolved legal issues surrounding work on the historic Carrickmines Castle site.

Mr Brennan said Environment Minister Martin Cullen was close to finalising legislation aimed at allowing building work to resume on the site after a High Court Judge ordered it to stop following an objection by campaigners.
