They put the kettle into Dunkettle!
If memory serves, Transport Infrastructure Ireland acknowledged *in advance* that the €215 million Dunkettle Interchange would not solve congestion in the N40.
They went ahead and did it anyway, because cars and because "strategic traffic" and because whatever you're having yourself.

N40 near Mahon yesterday. 🚘 & 🚛 as far as the eye can see on both sides in both directions. I could see two motorists on their phones too. How anybody can call the Dunkettle bullshit a success is utterly nuts. Many posts on reddit with lads chirping "but it saves me 2 minutes from before".

December 2024: TII explicitly acknowledges the impact of the Dunkettle Interchange "upgrade" on the demand for travel on
the N40 in the westbound direction, in the full knowledge that the network capacity increase was "facilitating the release of significant latent demand".

Regarding Dunkettle interchange; those who knew, said before it was built that it would fail. It failed. No lessons will be learned.
Matt Cooper is still in the mindset that public transport can't transport as many people as private cars. The truth is the exact opposite. If you invest as much in

For context: Here is what councillors were expecting (circled in red) vs what is being put forward.
The proposed plans are not being brought forward by Cork City Council or Transport Infrastructure Ireland, the two roads authorities — but by the Port of Cork as a private application.
