Even more mayhem regarding Limerick

Much of a muchness really. Are you trying to bring more traffic into that area or move it out and around the city. Not sure where the proposed exits are going to be along the route but would two be enough between the Ennis road and Lisnagry?

I think the proposed route mate was to connect the northside of Moyross to Clonmacken.

Essentially open up that Knocklisheen side. I don’t think the rest of the Limerick north distributor link is feasible given its on a floodplain to be honest going over towards Corbally etc,

But the Knocklisheen route should be done as it would remove that one way in, one way out feel to the area thats been there since the 80’s.

No point doing a half-job. There’s fuck all rush-hour traffic on that Clonmacken/Knocklisheen section, it’s the traffic coming from the UL/Plassey area that needs relief

Agree with you, its a lot trickier though with the river.

A sulky track, technically

Your right. What I can’t understand is why the greens oppose this. Traffic around UL is horrific. The only way to get from Castletroy to corbally is through town or up pa healy Road which are usually at a crawl during rush hour. The entire road from clonmackin to the mackey roundabout will allow people to completely avoid the city. With that road and removing the toll on the tunnel, it’ll remove the need for cars to go through the city. Only traffic in the city should be people going there.

All this talk of pedestrianisation, bus lanes and cycling infrastructure in the city is useless unless they remove the need for traffic to pass through the city. This part if the road in moyross is the start. Much needed fir the people of moyross. Its very disingenuous of the greens saying they consulted the public and a rail option is better. Build the rail line too not instead

The Greens are going to get cannibalised at the next election.

They’ve brought nothing to Government, bar an increase at the pumps.

Nothing new there

Eamonn Ryan seems a nice man but Micheal & Leo are running rings around him.

He’s pure watery. No steel at all. Just goes along with what he’s told.

Fingal CC have a hotline where you can snitch on cagers - should Limerick introduce the same?

They got 7% of the vote and did great in the PFG

Some highlights

  • An end to Shannon LNG
  • Will end direct provision
  • A reallocation of transport budget away from Roads
  • a pro climate and saving the planet budget

They’ll be destroyed… Isn’t there all kinds on internal turmoil also? A joke of a party

in 2021 do people still believe building more roads will be better for traffic :grinning: - @padjo please ladybird what induced demand is

in 2021 do people still want solutions that destroy the planet :grinning:

Your councillors are getting lambasted at the moment. Could turn sour and seats lost over this

They’ve protected landlords, voted to seal mother and baby info… They’ve done what they are told.

Why have so many members left after such a stellar performance?

Many people attracted to Green politics generally don’t have the stomach for or understanding of politics, change doesn’t happen overnight

I’ve always voted Green with the lack of appropriate alternatives, what’s the option like, just give up?

Voting Green is a wasted vote in many ways for the reasons you outline… We all know politics as we know it doesn’t work. The system is anti progress…we need to abolish politics, but that’s not gonna happen in our life time.

Some feel that they have comrpomised too much by going in with this Government - others feel that this is the price to pay to get some policies implemented

that was inevitable
