That this Council

In light of the serious escalation in noise levels as a consequence of increased traffic on the M50 since its full opening to Carrickmines and beyond;

and in recognising that this serious escalation in noise levels represents a severe impact on:

(a) The quality of life within and outside property

(b) The value of property itself

and that it also represents a significant increase in noise and carbon pollution in the local area;

supports a very concerned local community by making the strongest possible representations to the NRA with regard to the pending PPP for the remaining section of the M50 widening,

with a view to putting in place state-of-the art noise prevention measures to the highest relevant standard that recognise and remedy the situation before the local community has to seek legal recourse to the problem
