The construction of the long-awaited Slane bypass in Co Meath, has been dealt a blow with a judicial review now expected to be lodged against the project going ahead.
It comes after a planning application for the bypass was granted by An Coimisiún Pleanála earlier this summer.
The project would see the construction of a 3.5km long bypass around Slane village and includes a dual carriageway as well as a 258 metre-long bridge over the River Boyne.
