N24 Waterford-Limerick Rd Projects Included In Funding Allocation

The N24 (Waterford to Limerick) road projects are included in a funding allocation from the Department of Transport today.

€554M in total is allocated to county councils across the country today for three categories of works – €491M to local authorities for 34 major national road projects which includes the N24, €34.85M for national roads maintenance and €63M for development of around 70 Greenway projects – the full list of Greenway projects will be released tomorrow.

Minister Ryan also says there will be priority investment for local by-passes, to protect some of the country’s best known market towns such as Listowel, Moycullen, Slane and Foxford.

This is in line with the Government’s Towns Centre First policy, facilitating more people-friendly development and ensuring that the towns can thrive and develop without 24/7 car congestion according to Minister Ryan.

A planning application in respect of the N24 Cahir towards Oola project is expected to be submitted to An Bord Pleanála next year.
