One of the benefits of EU membership has been infrastructural investment. However, investment in the M50 seems to have created a huge parking lot. Operation Freeflow appears to work well in Dublin but the M50 is blocked every morning. We spent a huge sum of money, both Irish and European on the M50 but it does not appear to be effective. Day after day we hear of tailbacks extending for many kilometres. Something can be done about this. I am not sure what the solution is, but the matter needs our attention.
