Ciarán Lynch (Cork South Central, Labour)

On a related matter I refer to the problem which arises in many housing estates where motorways and main roads were built in the years before proper noise regulations to do with sound barriers were in place. I am aware that different local authorities have been undertaking a review of such noise levels. Cork City Council has undertaken examinations of noise levels along the South Link Road and in other parts of the city. What progress has been made? People cannot go out into their back gardens because there is a four-lane highway at the end of the garden and no noise barriers or noise insulation measures have been installed.
