Both the European Union and the Government are spending millions upon millions of pounds on Ireland's road system. As new roads are built, it is a fact that traffic volume increases to fill these roads. As a result we have more air pollution. There is information on this and other environmental problems included in the accompanying information booklet. Although the volume of traffic is low, the capacity of the town to handle large amounts of traffic is poor.
Parking can be a problem on almost any day of the week.
Many people wished that the parking facilities would be improved. The traffic problems experienced by Lismore is small compared to the traffic problems in Dublin etc. People must be encouraged to use public transport, walk, cycle and use car pools. However it will be difficult to persuade them. Smog on frosty evenings due to domestic fires can cause a problem.
