Two High Court actions have been brought against permission for a €450m Foynes to Limerick road project.

Approval granted to Limerick City and County Council for the development of a 35km stretch of road, including 17km of motorway bypassing Adare village, is under challenge from dairy farmer Paul Madden, from Blossom Hill, Rathkeale, and cybersecurity professional Ian Gilvarry, of Clonshirebeg, Adare.
