Planning Permission Refused For Slane Bypass
An Bord Pleanála has refused planning permission for the Slane bypass in County Meath.
The agency turned down the planned bridge and roads around the village because it was located too near to the World Heritage Site at Brú na Bóinne and Newgrange.
However, campaign group Save Newgrange welcomed the move to protect the area near the historical sites of Newgrange.Campaign spokesman Vincent Salafia said: "The Unesco World Heritage Site is our most popular tourist attraction, which will play a key role in our economic recovery, and it deserves the highest level of legal protection."
