LISTEN: New public realm plan for Ballagh would be "worst of all outcomes" - Roscommon council

Roscommon County Council says it’s strongly against reversing the controversial public realm enhancement plan in Ballaghaderreen.

Sinn Fein TD Claire Kerrane and nine other Roscommon politicians want a new planning application lodged.

Up to 500 people protested against the plans last Sunday, concerned about the loss of 47 car-parking spaces.

But, at a meeting of Boyle Municipal District this evening, it was revealed the enhancement plan is 50 per cent complete.

Director of services for the MD, Greg O’Donnell, told Eoghan Murphy a new planning application would be ‘the worst of all outcomes’ - but he called for a compromise on the current plan.
