Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) has admitted there is “no silver bullet’ to ease any further traffic issues on the eastern approaches to the Jack Lynch tunnel at peak times and it will only be solved with better public transport.

This view is leading to further calls for the re-opening of the Midleton - Youghal railway line and for improved bus connectivity from the East Cork region through the tunnel to the city’s southern suburbs.
