PUBLIC SHOWS OPPOSITION TO REMOVAL OF CITY ROUNDABOUT

Date Published: 21-Mar-2012

Up to 300 city residents have shown their opposition to the planned removal of the Kirwan roundabout at the Menlo Hotel.

It follows a public meeting in the Pillo Hotel last evening where a large group of local residents voted to reject the planned traffic light changeover.

The gathering was also attended by city officials Cairán Hayes and Joe Tansey who were asked to reconsider the proposal.

Of the seven councillors in attendance, five declared their opposition to the changeover.

City Fine Gael Cllr Frank Fahy says a solution is needed which considers the needs of the local residential area.
