Public Consultation on N25 Midleton to Youghal Route Corridor Options Opens 17 November
N25 Midleton to Youghal: public consultation on 9 route corridor options runs 17 November to 15 December 2026.
Public Consultation No.2 on the N25 Midleton to Youghal Transport Project opens on 17 November, with 9 Route Corridor Options to be presented for feedback. Written submissions will be accepted until 15 December 2026.
The project runs from Lakeview in Midleton to Ballyvergan, west of Youghal, and is currently at Options Selection stage. It is being progressed by the Cork National Roads Office in conjunction with consultants Roughan & O’Donovan – AECOM Alliance, on behalf of Cork County Council and Transport Infrastructure Ireland.
The Project Team says this section of the N25 frequently experiences congestion, unreliable journey times and safety issues. The Route Corridor Options have been developed from technical assessments and feedback from the first Public Consultation.
The corridors are broad areas within which a future route could potentially be developed, and do not represent a final route. Further detailed consultation, surveys, design and assessments will be needed to confirm the exact location of a route within the final selected corridor.
Three information events are planned. The first takes place on Thursday 19 November at Castlemartyr Resort (P25 X300) from 1.00pm to 7.00pm. The second is on Tuesday 24 November at the Talbot Hotel Midleton (P25 AX67), also from 1.00pm to 7.00pm. An online information webinar will be held via the project website on Thursday 26 November at 12.00pm.
The Project Team will be available at the in-person events to answer questions and discuss the project.
Written feedback can be submitted from 10.00am on 17 November until 4.00pm on 15 December 2026, by email to n25midletontoyoughal@aecom.com or by post to Cork National Roads Office, Cork County Council, Richmond, Glanmire, Cork T45WA44. Submissions must be made before the end of the consultation period.
The consultation information will go live from 10.00am on Tuesday 17 November on the project website. Questions can also be directed to the Project Team by email at n25midletontoyoughal@aecom.com or by phone on 086 193 9260.
Proposals for the N25 between Lakeview Roundabout and the R907 Youghal Road Junction are currently under development. Details of a separate Public Consultation on this section will be announced at a later date.
