BREAKING: Ardee Bypass Judicial Review dismissed in its entirety
Justice O’Regan has dismissed in its entirety on all counts the Ardee Bypass Judicial Review
Louth Fine Gael TD, Fergus O’Dowd, and Ardee Councillor, Dolores Minogue, have warmly welcomed news that Justice O’Regan has dismissed in its entirety on all counts the Ardee Bypass Judicial Review.
Deputy O’Dowd said in a statement issued this afternoon: “This is great news and brings us one step closer to seeing the bypass becoming a reality, we must now wait to see if a formal appeal to the court of appeal will be submitted typically within 28 days.
“Cllr Dolores Minogue and I have campaigned for a number of years to get this project over the line as the bypass will greatly improve the quality of life for Ardee residents and businesses.
O’Dowd added: “The bypass will improve road safety, reduce vehicular traffic in the town, provide better air quality and allow for more active travel opportunities in the town when built so we have our fingers crossed this will get green light in the coming weeks.
Cllr Minogue said “I’m over the moon that the courts have made this decision, this bypass will finally rid the town of so much unnecessary traffic and pollution and it will give the traders a real boost.
“We know Ardee has so much to offer and this bypass would finally allow the town to breathe and develop appropriately. The council have informed us that they have contacted TII to request a meeting to further discuss the project.”
