Direct Route
In the National Development Plan 2000-2006 the National Roads Authority (NRA) identified a number of road infrastructure projects of major importance to be procured through the Public Private Partnership (PPP) mechanism involving the private sector in the construction, financing and operation of transport infrastructure. The M8 Rathcormac/Fermoy Bypass project is one such project within the NRA PPP Project Programme.
And on 18th August 2006, Direct Route (Limerick) Ltd. signed a Public Private Partnership (PPP) agreement with the National Roads Authority (NRA) for the construction, operation and maintenance of the Limerick Tunnel.
