Kinsale locals 'dreading' summer tourist season due to 'chaotic' traffic

Success of Wild Atlantic Way route has left town swamped with traffic, councillors told

'There is no doubt that at peak times the streets really can’t cope with the levels of traffic passing through.'

The success of the Wild Atlantic Way tourism route has left residents and businesses in a Cork town “dreading” the summer season due to traffic congestion. 

Kinsale is the last southern stop on the 1,600-mile-long route that takes in Irelands’s Atlantic coastal counties, from West Cork to Donegal.
