An alternative route - that didn t impact on residents on country roads - would have to be identified before a full HGV ban is introduced in Duleek.
That s the view of Meath CC, responding to a proposal by Cllr Stephen McKee as part of the new Meath County Development Plan.
That said, Engineer Padraig Maguire did confirm that a proposal already existed in the plan that suggested levels of HGV traffic should be managed in the village.
Cllr McKee was seeking a ban on such vehicles.
Cllr Sharon Tolan said that such a ban was discussed at local level in the past but the big issue was the fear of rat runs because of it.
Meath County Council has agreed to promote and investigate provision of a secondary school for Duleek following a debate as part of the new county development plan on Saturday.
Cllr Stephen McKee raised the issue of a much needed school to facilitate the hundreds of students who leave the area each day for schools all over the region.
His bid received overwhelming support from fellow councillors.
He said there was land available in the centre of Duleek for it, but Meath CC said they had spoken wth the Dept of Education and LMETB and were told it wasn t needed. A secondary school would help the town business wise as well, Cllr McKee stated.
