TII emphasised that it "will not be responsible for any costs" for alterations to the N40 and Mahon Interchange as a result of these plans

Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) has warned that plans for Mahon 2.0, an ambitious €200m project at Cork’s largest retail complex including over 250 new apartments, will further add to a "deteriorating traffic situation" in the area.

In a submission to Cork City Council, the agency warned that the substantial development would further decrease capacity on the Mahon Interchange Junction 10, and that given the existing, permitted and planned developments around Mahon and Jacob's Island, the current project could have a significant impact on the operation and safety of the national road network.
