BAM Contract Signing — May 2025

In May 2025, Cork County Council signed the main construction contract with BAM to deliver the M28 Cork to Ringaskiddy Motorway—an uplifting milestone for communities and business along the corridor. The signing at County Hall was attended by Taoiseach Micheál Martin, alongside Minister for Transport Darragh O’Brien TD and Minister of State Jerry Buttimer TD. The Taoiseach called it “an important milestone for Cork and Ireland,” noting the M28 will “strengthen Ireland’s integration with European ports and trade corridors.” Cork County Council Chief Executive Moira Murrell welcomed the boost to the EU Core TEN-T network, saying the project “will support sustainable growth, create jobs, and enhance connectivity to our vital maritime and commercial centres.”
