Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
N52 Ardee Bypass: Discussion
Ms Dolores Minogue:
For clarity, this is not a review of the whole route but only of sections of the proposed new junctions. As the other witnesses stated in their opening contributions, nobody wants the bypass to stop. Can we continue with the bypass and address the junctions when we need to, as Deputies Fitzpatrick and O'Dowd said, for fear of losing the bypass altogether, or pushing it down the road for another ten to 15 years? Our town is absolutely chockablock. I understand the concerns of the residents of Townspark but, if TII thinks there is a way to fix this with a review, surely we can go on with the works and fix the issues when we get there. I would like that question answered.
