Ringskiddy motorway will spell traffic chaos for greater Cork area

The proposal to construct a motorway at Ringaskiddy based on the pretext that proper motorway connectivity is a TEN-T requirement for Tier 1 ports such as Ringaskiddy.

For this reason, the proposals include closure of an existing road exit and a slipway, as they would not comply with perceived motorway standards. The proposals also include creating a slip road that would empty traffic onto the Rochestown Road.

TEN-T requirements also include proper rail connectivity. But this will not be provided to Ringaskiddy. So why this nitpicking about perceived minor shortcomings in the road network when rail is ignored?
