The Save Cork City Community Association CLG (SCCA) in a leapfrog appeal to the Supreme Court wanted the decision by the High Court last year to refuse to strike down the planning permission for the works around the Morrison’s Island area reversed.

Drove on the Macroom bypass today. You can see why it is 100 rather 120 Km/h. No hard shoulder - if you have to stop (I know you shouldn't), you are still on the carriageway.

If you are turning left off it, no filter lane to the left. If you are turning from a minor road to join it, there is no lead in lane - just a stop sign and you have to start off at zero on the inner lane.

Doesn't strike me as being particularly safe. They will spend millions trying to rectify it in a few years time.

Still though a whole lot better than creeping along through the town

Absolute madness

You won't be saying that if you get a puncture or breakdown

That sounds a bit ropey alright

I wonder how many crashes will have to occur before they rectify it.
