    You should advise the town planners of this.

    i agree but he is probabley using the shortcut too

    Surely this would be a matter to bring to the attention of the guards if people are driving at a dangerous speed.

    If it is a problem, maybe you should suggest to said planner to close the entrance to the estate to the Ballymahon road.

    I seem to remember Paul Hogan raising the issue of traffic management in Sarsfield Square. It took some time to block off one end of the estate but it did happen regardless of who was using the road, also it's best to put request in writing if you want to be taken seriously. You could write a letter to the members of the council and have your neighbors sign it.
