Mr. Michael Nolan:

The TII determined that effluent disposal was required to be resolved before granting planning permission for the Ennis service area proposals, as there was no detailed design provided in the initial proposals to confirm that the N85 overbridge structure across the M18 could accommodate proposals for routing around the N85. The matter was resolved by the submission of further information and revised proposals for effluent disposal. These were the two specific issues which were identified as being premature.

The TII never has objected to private sector offline developments on the grounds that they would compete with online facilities.
