Four route options identified for €600m N24 between Waterford and Cahir

Around 4,500 property owners will be contacted about the works impacting their land 

Eileen McCarthy, director at Arup, outlined how some options will see the compulsory purchase of property and farmland in Co. Tipperary and Co. Kilkenny, unless the project opts for upgrading the current route through Carrick-on-Suir and Clonmel, which she accepted will cause "major disturbances" to people living there.

A major upgrade to the N24 connecting Waterford to Cahir in Tipperary has been narrowed down to four options.

The N24 Waterford to Cahir scheme is to be 60km in length, from Junction 10 on the M8, north of Cahir, to the southern terminal of the M9 motorway, in South Kilkenny.
