Traffic gridlock and pedestrian safety on the Clones Road were to the fore at this week's meeting of Monaghan County Council. Cllr Seamus Treanor says a by-pass is needed to alleviate the problems and despite the associated costs, is the only solution to the difficulties that have emerged.

First though, he pointed to how the current difficulties have been years in the making.
