If confirmed, the order will authorise the local authority to acquire compulsorily the land described in the First Schedule thereto for the purposes of the construction of the proposed N8 road between Urlingford and Cashel.

The order will also authorise the local authority to extinguish the public rights of way described in the Second Schedule thereto, by order made by them after they have acquired the land, where the said public right of way is over the land so acquired or any part thereof, or over land adjacent to or associated with the land so acquired or any part thereof. Any objections to the extinguishing of the said public right of way should be made in writing to An Bord Pleanála, 64 Marlborough Street, Dublin 1 not later than 5.30pm on 28th May 2004.
The Board cannot confirm
(a) a compulsory purchase order in respect of the land if an objection is made in respect of the acquisition by an owner, lessee or occupier of the land, and not withdrawn,
(b) an order which authorises the extinguishment of a public right of way if there is an objection to the extinguishment, which is not withdrawn,
until it has caused to be held an oral hearing into the matter and until it has considered the objection and the report of the person who held the oral hearing.
An environmental impact statement, for which separate public notice has been given, has been prepared in respect of the development which it is proposed to carry out on the land. Evidence in relation to the likely effects on the environment of the proposed development may also be heard at the oral hearing, if any.
