Public transport ‘key’ to end gridlock in Little Island

Consultants have made a number of preliminary suggestions which could ease traffic gridlock in one of the country’s industrial powerhouses.

Major tailbacks are experienced daily at peak periods in Little Island in Co Cork as thousands of workers commute to and from the area.

While it is widely acknowledged that the road infrastructure needs to be improved, the current lack of government funding prompted Little Island Business Association (LIBA) to employ transport consultants to come up with interim solutions to ease the gridlock.
