Speaking in the wake of the recent nine-vehicle pileup in Slane, Sinéad Burke has called for the Government and the NRA to acknowledge the will of the people of area and start work on the Slane Bypass immediately. “The importance of appropriate infrastructure, capable of handling the volume and type of traffic associated with a major national route has never been clearer. It is actually unbelievable to think that, despite the years of unprecedented economic growth experienced in Ireland during the last ten years, the money was never made available to bypass the village. The recession cannot be an excuse for inaction. The health and safety of our families and friends depends on it.
“Finally, I would encourage everybody to lend support to the bypass campaign group, which is working to get the HGV-ban implemented in the interim, as well as preparing a dossier for submission to the Oireachtas Committee on Transport on May 6th. A co-ordinated approach involving all sections of the local community offers the best way of applying the pressure needed to achieve a favourable outcome.”
