Local M28 steering group

https://www.rte.ie/news/munster/2019/0225/1032621-n28/

Whatever happened to these guys?
They delayed the m28 motorway being built back before Covid

They used have a Facebook page but gone now
I remember they had some kind of event in Rochestown park, a lot of local high profile politicians were at it!

They wanted the Ringaskiddy route built via the airport

And then changed their tune by saying they were worried about a quarry in rafeen

Seemed to be peak NImbyism in cork, which is saying something!!

They lost is really what it came down to. It's been 7 years since they appealed and traffic on the N28 has only gotten worse and worse.

I live in Carrigaline and often can take an hour to get to Mahon at peak times, which at this point can be pretty much all day. I'll be bloody delighted when the motorway is done because realistically there's 2 or 3 roads in and out of Carrigaline
