• Q7 Road Safety

To ask the Manager to agree to continue consultations with the Gardaí on the Management of Traffic, particularly at busy junctions, roundabouts etc., given the increased traffic congestion in this community. Following my recent calls, there is now more evidence of regular Garda Managing of traffic congestion on our roads and in the lead in to Traffic Free-Flow associated with Christmas Time. Will the Manager agree to request that the Gardaí continue with this practice after Christmas and into the New Year, particularly in areas where Major Road Works  are set to continue for some years to come including on the M50, N4, Outer Ring Road etc.?
