Phil Hogan
Question:171 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for the Environment when work will commence on the provision of a new bypass at Callan, County Kilkenny, and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Written Answers. - Callan (Kilkenny) Bypass.
A public local inquiry has been held into objections made against confirmation of the Kilkenny County Council compulsory purchase order No. 1 of 1991, which relates to the proposed Callan bypass, and into the propriety of confirming the order in so far as it relates to the extinguishment of public rights of way. I will make my decision in relation to the order as soon as possible. Because of my quasi-judicial function in the determination of the order, it would be inappropriate for me to comment further about the scheme at this stage.
