Infrastructure

The Sarfield Road Roundabout in Wilton underwent redevelopment in 2012,[2] to reduce traffic volume in the Wilton area, and improve access to Cork University Hospital from the N40 road.

In July 2016 there was some question as to the accuracy of road signage indicating the boundary between Wilton and Togher.[3]

gollark: You're just slowly recreating the evolution of osmarkspythonbuildsystem™.
gollark: You're actually reading at least 36 antimemes per second. You just forgot.
gollark: It's the perfect choice for command line tools (you don't need environment variables or anything for that, no), web applications (sockets are also not actually a thing which exist), data science (data is just lists, right? osmarkslisp™ is great at lists), or systems applications (I am attempting to get it into the Linux kernel in place of BPF).
gollark: osmarkslisp™ features:- tail call optimization (Python lacks this for bee reasons)- strings, somewhat- very fast (sorts a 200-element list of integers in mere seconds)- intuitive syntax with 912571897189274 brackets- no macros, but still really minimal builtin operations- approximately functional scope
gollark: osmarkslisp™ *does* have APIs to access GTech™ solar sites.
