Plans to ease traffic congestion along a 22km section of the N11/M11 in south Dublin and north Wicklow include two options which bisect Delgany Golf Course, and one widening the existing route through the Glen o’ the Downs nature reserve.
Twenty years ago the 2km road through the Glen was the scene of a three-year “Save the Trees” campaign which saw many young people occupy the Glen before it was widened from a single carriageway to a dual carriageway. While many of the options provoked the ire of those present, some of whom had homes in the path of the routes, others said traffic congestion in the area meant some action must be taken.
Dermot McCarthy, a member of Delgany Golf Club, said he and his friends were in shock at the plans. Asked if he believed the club would have a strong opinion on the options which crossed the club, he said; “I don’t doubt it.”
