most users are irish or munster... cater to them first. ..the tunnel is one of the best known irish traffic landmarks

I am struggling to grasp your issue or can't see what odds it makes.
As a well know Irish landmark every one who is Irish or from Munster will know the tunnel goes west.

Why does it say "Lane in Stay" there.

It's so silly, stick up some signs instead of adding that to the road lad.

i think they were supposed each word was supposed to be 20m apart but they got a lad from latvia to do it and he had no english at the time and didnt know what he was painting...
Genuine story.

Here is the idiot that came down the M8 at around 6:30 this morning and caused absolute bedlam at the tunnel.
Gardai arrived at 7:30, stopped the traffic and got the idiot to reverse back to the relief road.

So to all the other idiots out there who think those works were a waste of money, they weren't as traffic coming from the other directions were not at all impacted by this incident.
Had the old roundabout been there, then all approaches would have been impacted

You are wrong, Traffic from the east heading to the city was chronic ,as people avoided the tunnel,

Yes, let's spend €230M so we can avoid one traffic jam every few years.

Yesterday evening was a nightmare as well...
Crash happened about 5:30 just past the Mahon Exit heading West..
I waited for it to ease joined the traffic about 6:45pm, still no joy was 45 mins plus moved from Laya Health Care Little Island to maybe the slip off to Dublin roughly 200 metres. It started to move then once the accident was clear. 4 lanes coming from the east merging into one doesn't work when there's an accident it can't deal with the volume.
People then tried to avoid this by heading to the city and then there was a crash on the Lower Glanmire Road.
Traffic heading to the city was backed up to Laya soon after as well.

Like I'll give credit it's fairly okish in rush hour you move steadily due to all the merging but one crash/over height vehicle and the place is bedlam.
