View answerThe Department is aware that Meath County Council commissioned the preparation of a Strategic Assessment Report (SAR) concerning options in relation to a potential Julianstown bypass. The SAR was submitted to the Department for review in accordance with the then Public Spending Code. The appraisal of the scheme will now need to be considered in light of the Department’s revised Transport Appraisal Framework (TAF).
