There is a future for the Northern Cross Route Project – O’Dowd 12th March 2021 - Fergus O'Dowd TD Fine Gael TD, Fergus O’Dowd, has stated that there is a viable route forward for the Northern Cross Route project following the news of the application’s appalling score in the latest round of the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund.
Deputy O’Dowd said: “Having reviewed the application, it is quite clear that officials have determined that there are serious and inherent weaknesses in the application.
“Serious concerns on value for money, strategic alignment to the NDP and climate change have all been highlighted. Officials outlined that the project did not even meet the core objectives of the fund itself.
