Good morning, I have proposed for a number of years to allocate 5 to 10 acres of the site to establish a road safety centre for new learner drivers to upskill the driving skills and to take them off the public roads while they are learning.
The Department of Transport should purchase this site considering what it could be sold for on the opening market.
Merlin Park has a huge amount of land owned by the HSE and more than suitable for a landing of a helicopter.
Why do all our decisions seem to be suddenly influenced at the last minute by bodies who don't submit to public consultations where their ideas can be scrutinised? And the final one for now.
If we are throwing out ideas for the airport, why not build a hospital there with a public transport corridor direct to the city along the old road and access from the motorway? It's easy to come up with plausible sounding plans.
