Dublin traffic woes and a new ring road

Sir, – It would be to the public’s advantage if Minister for Transport and Sport Shane Ross were to apply himself to ameliorating the almost daily hold-ups on the main routes in and out of Dublin, due in large part to road traffic accidents.

That is if he can tear himself away from the judiciary.

I suggest that he give strong consideration to building a second ring road around Dublin as an appropriate solution to the traffic problem. – Yours, etc,
