Fianna Fáil Councillor Michael Clark said the scheme will not lead to the desire reduction in traffic.
A plan to pedestrianise certain streets in Dún Laoghaire will divert traffic and put children “at risk”, a local councillor has claimed.
“ simply a closure of a road to vehicular traffic… I would argue that any plan that’s an environmental pathfinder project costing €9.8 million in Dún Laoghaire infrastructure that doesn’t provide any extra cycling infrastructure and makes it harder for any people to access a hospital via public transport, isn’t the best use of Government’s money.”Fine Gael councillor Lorraine Hall voted in favour of the plan and said she welcomed it as a “major investment” in the area.
