    I'm raging... I can't believe it. I cross the bridge Mon-Fri to go to work out in Bunmahon I think it's stupid to put a toll on driving into the city from one side if you going to put a toll on the bridge. I can't put into words at this moment how I feel... I'm speachless and outraged.

    This little idea isn't going to solve the traffic problem. I think however it will make it worse, by slowing down the already standing still traffic

    slightly OT but did anyone see that the cops were doing points duty on Rice Bridge during morning rush hour? I dunno if it was a one-off spectaular (Tuesday) but I'm sure it must have made a diff for those who crawl in from the New Ross side.

    If Waterford is not granted the boundry extension Waterford CC is looking at tolling KK registered cars and vans at Rice Bridge and rightly so. On Fridays this toll will be doubled for KK traffic heading out of the city !

    Ah yes but if you do that then about 90% of Waterford business won't be able to open as their owners won't be able to get to them ;)

    ah yes but knowing how great Kilkenny people are, we'd build a massive underwater civilization and become the new capital of Ireland :D

    I am sick and tired of reading of this KK vs Waterford thing...I cudnt care less, I live in North KK and Waterford is irrelevant to everybody up ere!I dont know anybody that works in Waterford but I know loads that work in Kildare and Naas.. In the North of the county we are used to people from surrounding counties living and working here from Laois, Carlow, Tipp, Offaly etc etc...Its no big deal.I think it comes down to the fact that Waterford is so badly located relative to surrouding counties, cut off by the river suir.
    Waterford people seem to have a big chip on their shoulders about us..why?Are we not all Irish at the end of d day?If KK and Waterford worked together on roads and stuff we'd all be much better off.
