Current position | The High Court ruling against the Department on 23 June 2025 applied to the length of proposed new road between south of Strabane and Ballygawley. The Department has lodged an appeal against the ruling and this is scheduled to be heard between 9-11 December. DAERA and Friends of the Earth have been permitted by the Court of Appeal to formally intervene. The outcome from the appeal will determine the way forward with this length. Work continues in relation to addressing the Planning Appeals Commission (PAC) recommendations on the remaining two sections of the scheme, i.e. Section 1 (New Buildings to south of Strabane) and Section 3 Phase 3 (Ballygawley to the border). These will be subject to separate consultations and Ministerial decisions in due course. |
