The proposed temporary development will consist of the provision of car and bus parking as part of a Park & Ride scheme associated with the Ryder Cup in 2027.

All installations associated with the Park & Ride facility are temporary and removable with the lands to be returned to existing use within one month after completion of the Ryder Cup.
This Part 8 Planning Application is being submitted subsequent to separate applications for the provision of temporary Park & Ride facilities at Annacotty (PT8LL302), Croagh North & South (PT8LL303), Croagh West (PT8LL304) and Richmondvilla, Patrickswell (PT8LL305) and will form part of a larger overall transport plan for the Ryder Cup.
The development is to be carried out in the townland of Attyflin, Patrickswell, Limerick.
The Local Authority has carried out an assessment of need for an Environmental Impact Assessment and determined that the development does not fall within the scope of the EIA Directive or the EIA provisions of the Planning and Development Regulations or the Roads Act and consequently no EIA requirements apply to it.
