Judicial Review into Slane Village Bypass Dismissed by High Court - 29/04/2026

The judicial review into the Slane Bypass was dismissed by the high court yesterday.The proceedings had been taken by former attorney general John Rogers, who owns land in the area.Planning permission for the project was granted by An Comisiún Pleanála last June but Mr Rogers applied for a legal review of the decision. However yesterday afternoon, Cathaoirleach of Meath County Council and Fianna Fail Councillor in Slane, Wayne Harding, confirmed the review had been dismissed saying it was "fantastic news and another huge milestone in the project."The project would see the construction of a 3.5km road around Slane village, including a dual carriageway, as well as a 258m bridge over the River Boyne.Councillor Harding joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us some more about this.
