Cork-Ringaskiddy motorway set to get Cabinet green light

Cabinet is due to consider the main M28 contract just days after the Department of Transport confirmed the allocation of some €50m to advance the scheme.

The Cabinet is set to approve the construction of the M28 Cork-Ringaskiddy motorway, marking the start of a milestone week for strategic transport projects in the city.

Transport minister Darragh O’Brien is expected to bring a memo to Cabinet on Tuesday recommending sign-off of the main contract for the long-awaited M28, which secured planning in 2018.
