Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Roads Infrastructure Programme: Discussion.

9:00 am

Mr. Peter Walsh:

That project is quite well-developed. A new alignment has been chosen. The preliminary design is well-advanced. The environmental impact statement, Natura impact statement and all the other statutory documents are just about complete. We expect that the business case will be with us in a couple of weeks. It will progress to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport and then to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. The expectation is that Galway County Council will be in a position to submit the project to An Bord Pleanála in the first quarter of next year. I do not know if further detail is required on it at the moment.
