Funding need due to chronic traffic gridlock ‘grinding Little Island to halt’

An industrial powerhouse in Cork contributing €30m in rates is grinding to a halt due to traffic gridlock.

Tens of thousands of workers are employed at businesses and major companies in Little Island, located east of the city.

Cork County Council’s chief executive Tim Lucey yesterday warned it was “critical” that Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) and the National Transport Authority (NTA) release funding to resolve the chronic traffic gridlock there.
