Deadlines, 1bn budget and home demolitions: What comes next after the Galway City Ring Road approval?
"Following the decision, there is an eight-week window during which the approval can be challenged by way of Judicial Review, beginning from the date of the public notice in newspapers. Such a review may be sought if any party believes the decision is flawed or insufficient."
"We do acknowledge now with construction inflation over the last eight years, that it is above the €600 million. The increase could near €1 billion."
"When it comes to that, we would be looking to see if there's a way we can mitigate concerns and come to an agreement outside of the High Court."
The decision by An Coimisiún Pleanála has elicited mixed reactions regarding a project aimed at alleviating traffic congestion in Galway. Concerns about environmental impacts and the project's timeline remain. An eight-week period for Judicial Review allows parties to challenge the decision if deemed flawed. Galway County Council plans to proceed with the project despite potential legal challenges. Funding estimates have increased significantly, with costs potentially nearing €1 billion due to construction inflation. A meeting is scheduled to advance the project to its next stage.
