Galway Bay fm newsroom - An oral hearing on a controversial planned service station on the M6, which had been due to take place this Spring, has been pushed back to Autumn.
The project is being led by Transport Infrastructure Ireland under it's national motorway service area plan.
Following a site selection study, a preferred site for the development was identified around 5.5km north east of Oranmore, in the townload of Lisheenkyle West.
The motorway order and EIS for the project is due to be published shortly.
An oral hearing is to be hosted by An Bord Pleanala ahead of a decision on the overall project, the date for which will be determined by the higher planning authority.
The oral hearing was expected to be set for this Spring, however the estimated date has been pushed back to Autumn.
If the service station gets the green light, it's expected construction will be completed by 2019 at the earliest.
