Further Delays Unacceptable

The Bypass Slane Campaign group have described any further delays in progressing the Slane Bypass to An Bord Pleanala as unacceptable and call on Meath County Council to announce the emerging preferred route. Deputy Thomas Byrne recently raised the issue of the Slane Bypass with the Minister for Transport, Shane Ross, in the Dail with Deputy Ross advising that the project will proceed to An Bord Pleanala in 2021. This time scale is unambitious and under-whelming and fails to address the real and present danger that the current N2 through Slane village presents to residents and the travelling public on a daily basis.
