N6 Galway City Ring Road Documents
The decisions of An Bord Pleanála dated 6 December 2021 granting approval for the N6 Galway City Ring Road have been quashed, and the applications for approval of the N6 Galway City Ring Road have been remitted to An Bord Pleanála, such remittal taking effect from the point in time immediately after the submission of the Inspector’s Report.
In December 2021 An Bord Pleanála approved (with conditions and modifications) the N6 Galway City Ring Road. This was welcomed by Galway County Council, Galway City Council, and Transport Infrastructure Ireland. Three sets of proceedings were taken challenging the decisions of An Bord Pleanála approving the N6 GCRR, and in January 2023 the High Court made final orders in those 3 sets of proceedings quashing the decisions of An Bord Pleanála, and remitting the applications for approval of the N6 GCRR to An Bord Pleanála, such remittal taking effect from the point in time immediately after the submission of the Inspector’s Report. A Further Information Request is anticipated from An Bord Pleanála and Galway County Council will respond as thoroughly and quickly as possible to any such request. Galway County Council, Galway City Council and Transport Infrastructure Ireland remain committed to the delivery of the N6 GCRR and welcomes the opportunity to engage with An Bord Pleanála further on this project.
