Rail projects in Ireland
Projects of this type consented directly by An Coimisiun Pleanala, the national planning body, rather than by a local council. They never appear on a council planning register, which is why they are easy to miss. Each one links to its public case file.
7 projects tracked
Most schemes of this kind never take this route. Another 26 applications sit on the council registers, which we track as well. A free account opens them.
