This item from the RTE program Capital D from March 20th includes reference to the health effects of noise and also to a strategic noise mapping exercise that is being carried out there. Meath County Council has carried out a similar one in Julianstown. Health experts also talk about the effect of noise on human health.

Ambulances and Gardai had to attend another in a never ending series of car crashes in Julianstown village last week. Yet again a car speeding down the hill failed to see another car turing into the Duleek road and ended up embedded on the bridge. Luckily the bridge is tougher than cars and is hardly showing any sign of damage.
How long do we have to wait before one of our neighbours or children is killed or badly injured in an accident.
Julianstown residents are sick in the face pointing out the traffic volumes in the village and are being stonewalled by the council when it comes to progressing a solution. With the area population set to double in the next 10 years the only thing that is going to happen is that the traffic will get worse and the accidents will continue.

Lucky old Ennis opens its bypass today for 10,000 cars. Half the volume in Julianstown.
What are we doing wrong?
Clare County Council today announced that up to 10,000 vehicles per day are expected to use section two of the N18 Ennis bypass project, which opens to traffic at 7pm today.
The 5km wide single carriageway, which forms part of the N85 western relief road, runs from Clareabbey to Claureen and opens a new bypass to the south and west of the County.
Paul Moroney, Project Resident Engineer with Clare County Council said: “This section of the bypass ties in to the old N18 at the Limerick road in the vicinity of Clareabbey. The roundabout at

this tie in is called Clareabbey roundabout. The new bypass will provide relief to traffic wanting to bypass Ennis to the south and west of the town.It will in particular provide welcome relief to traffic wanting to travel to Kilrush, Kilkee, Ennistymon and Lahinch and to the people of West Clare.”
“Roundabout junctions are provided at the Rocky road and Kilrush road, at the Beech park roundabout and at a new roundabout on the existing N85 at Claureen.
New bridges are provided over the N68 Kilrush road and the river Claureen”.
The Ennis Bypass project is funded by the Irish Government and part-financed by the European Union under the National Development Plan and Transport 21.
