Traffic Congestion.

I think the N7 is definitely much worse not to mention the near daily crashes.

Public transport is a serious issue. I can't take it, not a hope and most people are the same, you either come to Dublin city or nowhere on a train commute to Dublin, get a train to the city and spend 1 hr on a bus to get where you want ?

No Underground ? seriously, this isn't even on the thoughts of any ministers. Dublin needs a subway system and the longer we put it off the worse it will be.

The multistore overpasses don't exist here, again, we do things half assed, the Irish way, traffic must end with lights or roundabouts all the time or slip roads are inadequate and even exiting most of the N7 you end at a roundabout in queues of traffic, again, no proper overpasses, just slip roads to roundabouts.

We really do need flexible working laws in Ireland and not leave it at the discretion of the company.

I have no choice but to take the car and car pooling would not be practical and there's only 3 of us + there's no one that I can drive to work nor could drive me but more should be done to incentivise car pooling. Free tolls, reduced tax etc.

One issue I would have with car pooling is if people are not Punctual, I'm a very punctual person and it annoys me when People are 10 mins + late. Late picking me up either end or not ready when I'm there to pick them up would drive me nuts.

I was coming from the Blanch site Friday evening and the Red Cow Junction is a horrendous joke, backed up for miles along the M50 Slip road North, half the M50 heading for the N7 and it's chaos and highly dangerous with trucks.

Why did we never get proper fly-overs in our design of roads, it's a very poor job, we must be a laughing stock, slip roads then end with a roundabout at other Motorway exits. Causes Chaos at City West and Rathcoole which are more junctions not fit for purpose.

You can say what you want about the amount of cars on the road but the reality is the road network is extremely poorly designed and inefficient. And we're decades away from a proper public transport network and why the continued resistance to a Subway System in Dublin is a complete and utter mystery. They can only think more buses but they need to start moving People underground. It's really sad in 2021 that a subway system isn't even being thought about.

It can take me 1 hr 10 mins to 2 hrs to get from Carlow to Blanch leaving at 8 am, that's a joke!

N7 traffic is definitely a lot worse.

It would be good if they could ban HGV at peak times. There's more and more HGV using lane 2 and 3 today than ever and refusing to move back to lane 1.

Maybe not for them all but certainly not for me giving the nature of my work.

I struggle to understand why anyone would choose to sit in such traffic if they have an alternative ?

The slip roads greatly slow down traffic on the N7 because they are completely inadequate and traffic jumps onto the n7 mostly at very slow speeds slowing the N7 down.

The M50 isn't actually that bad once you get on it heading north, again, from the N7 the slowdown and tailbacks are mostly due to the M50 slip road, completely inadequate and the traffic from Clondalkin/Luas merging there at that point is a disaster.

Poorly designed roads. They need companies experienced with creating proper road networks to design the roads in Ireland because no one has a clue here.

But if we could get more People working from home it would be better.
