At a recent meeting with Kildare County Council Chief Executive Peter Carey and representatives from National Roads Design Office, South Kildare Deputy Seán Ó Fearghaíl has raised the question of queuing at the motorway accesses to Kildare Town during particularly busy periods at the Kildare Village outlet.
”Kildare Village outlet has been a phenomenon success providing hundreds of much needed jobs and attracting millions of visitors to Kildare Town” said the Deputy ”however heavy traffic to the Village has caused traffic tailbacks with cars queuing onto the motorway at Junction 13. Apart from delays and inconvenience this is giving rise to public safety concerns.”
The South Kildare Deputy has called on the roads authorities now that the Village is expanding, with the construction of 36 additional shops underway, to take urgent action to address the very legitimate access and safety concerns.
