Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery

Planning, Approving and Delivering Transport Infrastructure Projects: Discussion

2:00 am

Cathal Byrne (Fine Gael)

In a general sense, what is the extra layer that has been added now with the need in the climate action plan to mitigate the emissions from the motorway? What is the sense of time this has added to all of these projects? To use the example of the Oilgate to Rosslare motorway, my understanding was it was effectively in a place to be able to go for planning permission or that it was not far away. The council then said to us this has added approximately a year to the project. What is the overall impact of that on other projects outside of this one?
