Wicklow County Council in conjunction with Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council is progressing the N11-M11 improvement scheme. The second round of public consultation was held yesterday where a number of corridor options were put forward. Interestingly, some of those options include bypassing the Glen of the Downs and dedicated bus lanes. Currently the N11 is a car park. Some 70,000 vehicles use the road every day and they are gridlocked. We need action on this. It is interesting to hear the Green Party shoot this down already without scrutinising the options that are being put forward. Do they expect the people of Wicklow to jump on the back of a wolf and get into the city centre? There are no local jobs in Wicklow. The Taoiseach has said that this scheme may or may not happen. If it does happen, we will not see the soil being turned until 2027 at the earliest.
