Slane community groups have told former attorney general John Rogers that they are very disappointed he has asked for a judicial review of the decision to go ahead with the bypass of the village. In a letter to Mr Rogers groups in the village said that while he might feel he has very good reason for deciding to take the action, they are asking him to consider that the project would deliver a substantial public good in that it would significantly reduce dangers to road users travelling through the village.
From Slane heading to the steep hill which has been the caused of many tragedies and accidents and above the busy junction which would ease considerable for the village and the local community in Slanr.
“Additionally, the scheme will lead to significant improvements in the environment of the village and will improve the quality of life for residents as well as those using the services in the village. It is clear that there is very significant and strong support for the scheme among the Sane community and indeed further afield. You are very well aware of the dangers posed by the current roas configuration and also of the long list of traffic incidents to have taken place on the N2 over decades, many of which have unfortunately resulted in death”.
The groups asked Mr Rogers to reconsider his decision to engage in a judicial review and withdraw his application and allow the project to proceed without further delay.
