Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Motorway Toll Charges: Transport Infrastructure Ireland
Mr. Peter Walsh:
As Tip O'Neill said, "All politics is local". I refer to the Adare bypass, the M20 and the Mackey roundabout, which I believe is at junction 18. There are huge problems in terms of congestion. I have been working with Limerick City Council and Limerick County Council. They have engaged with Transport Infrastructure Ireland, which allocated €50,000 to look at the junction.
I live in and am very familiar with Castletroy. We have great jobs and investment within the technological park but the backup from junction 18 at the Mackey roundabout is quite horrific at certain times. Mr. Walsh might perhaps deal with those issues of the Adare bypass and the M20. Is he familiar with the Mackey roundabout?
