We need trains — not trucks

A WORD in praise of Bord Pleanála.

I think its decision to reject the proposed container terminal downstream in Cork harbour is fantastic as it would have resulted in a huge increase in lorry traffic causing road congestion with adverse effects on residents.

I wish somebody would now look at the utter hell caused by lorries with huge cargoes passing through small towns in west Cork and how this traffic has caused pollution, congestion and noise, all of it unacceptable.
