Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
N52 Ardee Bypass: Discussion
Eamon Ryan (Dublin Bay South, Green Party) | Oireachtas source
The council has raised concerns about the effect on a raised bog of the construction of a road through it. Is TII confident that if the road will go through the bog, TII is safe from appeals to Europe that it is in breach of the European habitats directive and a range of other environmental directives? Is the organisation concerned that 20 years on from the original plan the critical nature of our habitats, particular =nnex 1 habitats, makes running a road through a raised bog open to European challenge?
