Perhaps the government should start looking at the root cause of traffic congestion in Dublin – namely that so many people in the greater Dublin area work in the city. Look at the M3. This is being built why? To give those in North Meath/Cavan etc. better access to Dublin. If only the jobs where dispersed nearer to North Meath/Cavan in the first place, none of this chaos would be neccassary.
Decentralisation should really be the first step, and I don’t mean moving civil servants around. New industries need to be encouraged to locate somewhere further away from Dublin. And that would solve a lot of problems. Dublin and its suburbs are swallowing up the surrounding counties anyway, so at the present rate the ring road will soon end up being part of Dublin rather than going around it.
