AM O’Sullivan Limited Ringaskiddy Life Sciences Companies Group
Summary of Submission and Observation:
• The nine multi-national and indigenous life sciences companies based in Ringaskiddy, Co. Cork – speci cally, BioMarin International Limited, Carbon Chemicals Group Limited, DePuy Ireland Unlimited Company, Hovione Limited, Janssen Sciences Ireland UC, Novartis Ringaskiddy Limited, P zer Ireland Pharmaceuticals, Recordati Ireland Limited and Thermo Fisher Scienti c Cork – request refinement to the stated objectives relating to the M28 to give greater support to the proposed infrastructure project of regional significance. • The proposal for Water-Based Transport (4.149-4.150) is strongly supported as this could make commuting much more efficient for those living in East / North Cork and working at Ringaskiddy. • The Lee-to-Sea Greenway is welcomed as it will provide for active travel to Ringaskiddy. • M28 / 4.130-4.131 requires reinforcement and should include references to the important role it will play for both industry and local residents in alleviating traffic congestion and providing improved transport links to one of the region’s key Strategic Employment Locations (as Ringaskiddy is identified in 1.22, Volume 1, Chapter 2). In light of the Port of Cork’s relocation to Ringaskiddy and the resulting increase of HGV traffic in the local area, we believe that this project has taken on an even greater role in ensuring an efficient flow of traffic in the region. Language around the M28 should benefit from the positive statements outlined in relation to the M20 given the parity in the significance of the two roads projects; • The N28 upgrade should include active travel (cyclists) and sustainable transport modes (4.130-4.131) and these should be progressed as part of the overall upgrade project; •
