Ciaran Cuffe TD (Green Party) Newsletter 10/09/2006


The residents are thrilled with the rock solid support by Ciaran Cuffe TD and the Green Party on its campaign to have the MRR stopped.
The Green Party is extremely disappointed with yesterday's decision by Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council to proceed with the construction of the controversial Monkstown Ring Road.
The four Green Party councillors voted against the road.
This road will bring thousands of cars past the homes of people who are currently living in quiet cul-de-sacs. It will demolish hundred year old homes and fifty year old trees.
It is unbelievable that the Council believes that these types of roads-based transport solutions will tame the traffic.
We agree with the Bord Pleanala Inspector who stated that the road would lead to more children being driven, rather than walking to school.
We will continue to press for more frequent DART services, Luas extensions, more buses and feeder routes and investment in a Safe Routes to School Programme.
