Traffic woes for Little Island

Cork County Council is to be urged to take urgent action to prevent one of the region’s industrial powerhouses grinding to a halt from traffic gridlock.

Huge queues of cars and lorries are a daily problem in Little Island, on the fringe of the city, where tens of thousands of workers are employed in nearly 1,000 businesses.

Inadequate road infrastructure along with insufficient footpaths, pedestrian crossings, and traffic lights have also led to a number of accidents.
