A non-statutory public consultation is now live. Information is available in an online consultation room on the project website www.n24waterford2cahir.ie/ or by attending one of the four in-person public consultation events. The purpose of this non-statutory public consultation is to inform the public of the broad range of potential transport solutions developed that have the potential to solve the issues identified to date and deliver on the project objectives. Potential solutions include alternative transport solutions such as bus, rail and active travel modes, and different road based options.

Public consultation forms an important part of advancing the development of an appropriate solution for the project. As part of this process, the project team are seeking feedback from the public on the potential transport solutions that have been developed. These solutions will be subject to a comparative assessment of their potential impacts, and their relative success in achieving the project objectives to determine the preferred solution for the project.
The Alternatives and Options will be on display at in-person public consultation events at four venues across the study area on the below dates:

• Mooncoin Community Hall, Mooncoin, 3 May 2022, 2pm to 8pm
• Raheen House Hotel, Clonmel, 4 May 2022, 2pm to 8pm
• Cahir House Hotel, Cahir, 5 May 2022, 2pm to 8pm
• Carraig Hotel, Carrick-on-Suir, 6 May 2022, 2pm to 8pm

In addition, the information will be available through an online consultation room on the dedicated website n24waterford2cahir.ie throughout the consultation period from 3 May 2022 to 20 May 2022.
Hardcopies of brochures and feedback forms will be available at the four events or can be requested by phone. They are also available for download on the project website. In addition to meeting the project team at the in-person events, a telephone/ online meeting will be bookable via the online booking facility on the project website or by calling Kilkenny County Council on 056-779 4380.

Hard copy maps of the potential transport solutions will also be available to view at Carrick-on-Suir Municipal Council Building (Carrick-on-Suir) and Ferrybank library (Ferrybank, via Waterford, X91 D211) from 9 May 2022 to 20 May 2022.
