The road from the bridge at the turn off for EastGate/Little Island up as far as the roundabout for the tunnel has been made three lanes in each direction. Will this be carried on further or is it just that stretch of road? I don’t see why that road hasn’t been given motorway status…. seen as most motorways in Ireland don’t have three lanes anyway, half the roads in Dublin aren’t even motorways by British/European standards. Is it the governments plan to give it to M status?

Not everyone is allowed use motorways – Learner drivers, Cyclists, Slow vehicles etc. Therefore for every stretch of motorway, alternate routes must exist for these road users, and that’s why some motorway quality dual-carriageways have not been afforded official motorway designation.
