Deputy Noel Coonan has welcomed the news that €500,000 has been allocated to Clare County Council to allow the Shannon Crossing Project to go to An Bord Pleanála stage. This announcement was made by Fine Gael Transport Minister Leo Varadkar yesterday.

“I am delighted Minister Varadkar has responded positively to intense lobbying that Cllr. Phyll Bugler and I have been making for advancement of this important project. This vital piece of infrastructure will link the West to the South and the Midlands and it will have a very positive impact on development on Ballina and Killaloe,” said Deputy Coonan.

“Our focus now is to advance the scheme and continue to lobby Minister Varadkar to ensure it will remain part of the national development plan and not become a victim of the austerity measures being implemented at present,” concluded the local Fine Gael TD.
