Falls in volume of between 4 and 8% contrast with 70% drop in March

Traffic volumes on main roads around Dublin are “slightly down” on pre-Level 3 Covid restrictions introduced in the Capital last week, according to a traffic analysis from Transport Infrastructure Ireland.

The fall is considerably less than the 70 per cent fall in traffic observed by the CSO during the initial lockdown ban on all non-essential travel, which began in March. TII said September was traditionally a very busy month for the State’s roads. Therefore while volumes of traffic on many arterial routes out of Dublin last Thursday and Friday were in excess of average daily traffic levels in 2019, it could be misleading to compare daily traffic figures for this September, with annual averages for last year.

Leaving Cert students at fee-paying south Dublin school launch High Court case against GovernmentPapers were filed on behalf of the students in the High Court yesterday. Ah bless them. Did mammy and daddy's money not buy them the results they wanted? It was hardly going to be a student from a state funded school now, was it ? I do wonder what the parent’s actions say to their offspring about how to behave when things don’t go your way, money or no money. I wish people would read the article before commenting. This is a specialist school teaching German, where students including native German speakers were downgraded by the algorithm. The “Fee-Paying” in the title is pure comment-bait by The Journal - it’s not germane in this case
