Cathaoirleach's Business

That this Area Committee agrees, to call for a removal of the the "bus lane" which begins after the intersection of N7 and R136 and continues to intersection of Newlands Cross via junction of Booth rd and further calls for the reconfiguration of this junction as a matter of priority before a more serious incident occurs here. The current configuration of the merging lanes on N7 are causing confusion and leading to dangerous situations developing at the intersection of Booth Rd. Additional traffic exiting N7 for Clondalkin are confused due to lack of clarity regarding Bus lane and exit to Newlands Cross.
