Public consultation process for major Tipperary project underway this month

With the Killaloe Bypass, Shannon Bridge Crossing and R949 Improvement Scheme set for completion early this year, Tipperary County Council and Clare County Council have announced their intention to pedestrianise the existing Killaloe-Ballina bridge.

As part of this process, a formal community consultation period is underway this month under Section 38 of the Roads Act, whereby Tipperary and Clare County Council will be seeking public engagement on how to progress plans for the existing 18th century bridge.

In advance of this public consultation period, an informal public information session for the communities of Ballina and Killaloe, and all stakeholders was held in the Kincora Hotel in Killaloe on 18 December.
