There are growing local concerns over the recent works on Tulla Road.

Some residents have raised questions about the impact of the changes to the road layout — including reduced carriage space, new cycle lanes, widened footpaths, and raised kerbing.

There are concerns that during peak traffic, congestion could become more severe, and that emergency vehicles such as ambulances or fire services may face difficulties accessing the area quickly.

Supporters of the project say the works are aimed at improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists, but others feel the changes may be creating new risks for drivers and emergency response times.

To discuss this further, Derrick Lynch was joined by local resident Angela Nolan on Tuesday's Morning Focus.
