Quote: I questioned the Taoiseach about the ongoing road works on the M7 during questions on Promised Legislation. I reminded him that the M7 carries 80,000 commuters and motorists every day and is the main artery to Dublin from Cork, Waterford, Limerick travelling through Kildare. Accidents last week left motorists delayed for up to an hour. These delays means more motorists leave the motorway and travel through villages not designed to cater for this volume of traffic. This has resulted in accidents such as the one that occurred in Kill last week. We need to have an increased level of work during weekends and in the evenings to ensure it is finished by 2020 as promised. end quote. I thought these roadworks were to be finished in early 2019? Now, it's already 2020? We just had one of the best summers on record and yet saw nobody working evening hours. Crazy stuff

New building where Court House was. George's street redevelopment, library upgrade, no through traffic on main Street. Looks like Town centre carpark is going. Redevelopment of conleths park is odd. Is the Gaa moving or not ? Seem to have sold part of carpark to private development. Very wishy washy if I'm honest. Traffic plan is a mess. Relying on new road linking out towards Toghors but that just links with already full Athgarvan road.
