Councillors questioned if there were enough wardens to enforce the new controls.

However, residents told inspectors they were happy with the care they received.

The two-vehicle collision occurred at Leonsgrave on the Drumcondrath Road at around 8.20pm yesterday.

The facility got the green light for construction in 2006 and was finished in 2017.

The driver tested positive for cocaine and cannabis.

The road has been identified as a key infrastructure project between the northwest and Dublin, but has been hit by numerous delays since first being announced in 2007.

Local gardaí say these robberies have left some people cut off from phone and internet services for up to 3 days.

It's estimated that 40 jobs would be created by the opening of the building.
