(16:06) The Secretary General of the Department of Transport, Julie O’Neill, has said she expects the changes being planned at the Red Cow roundabout in west Dublin to cost about €37m.

Ms O’Neill made the comments to the Public Accounts Committee.

The changes include flyovers and underpasses that would reduce the amount of traffic crossing the path of the Luas tram.

The controversial junction links the M50 and the Naas Road and has been subject to traffic delays.

Ms O’Neill said the upgrading of the Red Cow roundabout is now at planning stage and could be started by 2005 and completed by 2007.

A decision on who will carry out the upgrading has not been made.”

Quote “could be started by 2005 and completed by 2007.”

Pigs will fly

I was out in deepest Blanchardstown returning via the back roads to Finglas on Monday, the Traffic was backed up solid from the Westlink to close to Finglas. This despite the second bridge.

Someone needs to get their finger out in a hurry because the jams are gettin about a kilometre longer a year.
