Clontibret to Border Road Scheme
Date: 4/6/2026
Following a review of the planning documents submitted, please note the following comment in relation to
the N2 Clontibret to Border Road Scheme;
Monaghan County Council has been working in association with Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) to
develop a scheme to upgrade a 28km section of the N2/A5 Dublin-Derry Road. This project is called the N2
Clontibret to Border Road Scheme. This is an important project to enhance key North/South and Regional
connectivity and to improve road safety.
Monaghan County Council appointed Jacobs Consulting Engineers (Jacobs) in 2018 to advance the project
through the planning and design process. Westmeath National Roads Office are assisting Monaghan County
Council in delivering this scheme.
The proposed development is located east of the proposed road scheme, with no direct impact on the
scheme. There is no objection in relation to the impact of this development on the N2 Clontibret to Border
Road Scheme.
The proposed road scheme should be brought to the attention of the applicant, and it should be a planning
condition that the applicant is required to provide any noise or screening mitigation that may be required or
desirable as a result of the N2 Clontibret to Border Road Scheme, and it should be recorded that the road
scheme will not make any specific provision to mitigate the impact of the upgraded road on this new
development.
