Farmer says motorway will cut across his land and negatively affect his herd of 130 cows

Mr Justice Richard Humphreys this week gave the applicants permission to pursue their actions in the High CourtTwo High Court actions have been brought against a €450 million Foynes to Limerick road project.

The approval granted to Limerick City and County Council for the development of a 35km stretch of road, including 17km of motorway bypassing Adare, is under challenge from dairy farmer Paul Madden, from Blossom Hill, Rathkeale, and cybersecurity professional Ian Gilvarry, of Clonshirebeg, Adare. The project has been in the works since 2014 when the council first engaged engineering consultants. The men want the court to quash An Bord Pleanála’s decision last August to give consent for the road, which Mr Gilvarry claims will cross land next to his house.

Mr Madden is also looking to overturn permission for other associated schemes that form part of the Foynes to Limerick road, which led to a compulsory purchase order for part of the farm he owns with his wife.
