An in-person public information event on the proposed Transport Study will take place on Tuesday, March 24, 2026 from 4pm to 7pm at Ballyhaunis Community Hall on Upper Main Street, giving residents an opportunity to engage directly with council officials and planners.
Deputy Calleary said it is vital that local voices are heard before the plan is finalised.
“This is your opportunity to help shape the future of Ballyhaunis,” he said.
The transport study is expected to examine measures aimed at improving road safety, traffic flow and connectivity, as well as encouraging more sustainable modes of travel such as walking and cycling.
The final date for submissions or observations is 4.30pm on Wednesday, April 1, 2026. Submissions received after that deadline will not be considered.
Residents, businesses and community groups across Ballyhaunis are now being encouraged to review the plans and make their views known before the closing date.
