Digital advertising display replaces two static displays on N4, height increases to 5.8m.
New application; TII objection received 21 May 2026 citing traffic safety concerns.
JCDecaux Ireland Limited proposes to replace two existing 6.4m × 3.35m advertising displays with a single digital display measuring 6.28m × 3.4m on the N4 Dublin Road at Attifinlay, Carrick-on-Shannon, adjacent to the Homesavers retail store car park. The new digital display would increase in height from 4.6m to 5.8m. Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) objected to the application on 21 May 2026, citing concerns that the digital display's scale and potential to distract drivers would endanger public safety on the national road and could set a precedent for similar developments.
- Existing: two 6.4m × 3.35m static displays (south-east facing); proposed: one 6.28m × 3.4m digital display
- Height increase from 4.6m to 5.8m at N4 Dublin Road, Attifinlay, Carrick-on-Shannon
- Site location adjacent to Homesavers (also referred to as Aldi) car park
- TII objection: digital display could distract drivers and endanger public safety on national road
- TII cited DoECLG Spatial Planning and National Roads Guidelines 2012, Section 3.7 on digital advertising safety
