Dublin City Council has won an appeal over the proposed Sandymount cycleway in Dublin.

The Court of Appeal has found the High Court, in quashing the scheme, had erred in finding that it was to be introduced on a temporary basis and in finding that environmental impact assessment (EIA) or appropriate assessment (AA) should first have been carried out.
