I think we are all pretty much in agreement that the roads in Cork are lagging well behind most of the rest of the country. Look at the N20 Cork to Limerick “Road” - no better than a goat track for most of its length and dangerously overloaded with traffic. Only one motorway, the M8 and that’s to Dublin.
The N40 south ring is at breaking point and simply can’t cope with the traffic it carries, the North ring route has been long promised and long fingered.
The road to Ringaskiddy, the most important port on the South coast, is little more than a boreen, the N25 has the bottlenecks of Killeagh and Castlemartyr whilst the sub-standard Youghal bypass is very dangerous IMO (at night, drivers unfamiliar with the road layout might be confused into thinking they are on a dualler). It goes on and on. Why has Cork fallen so far behind? Why haven’t the Cork TDs got Cork its fair share of transport infrastructure investment?
And that’s not even getting into the issue of public transport in the city. What can be done? Thoughts?
