Bishop Lucy Park has been altered for the worst in a €7 million ‘upgrade’ that has turned it from a park into a gravel path. Very real environmental concerns here. Less greenery all round, poor drainage, removal of trees, very little grass for people to sit on or bugs to populate.

NTA estimates cost to the taxpayer of motoring is about €0.14/km, which exceeds that in total.
