A Chapter 8 compliant Traffic Management Plan must be submitted to Cork City Council prior to commencement of the works.                                                                         
2. Require a road closure; attendance at the weekly Tuesday Traffic meeting is essential to discuss the proposed works, and an application for a temporary road closure must be made at least 4 weeks before the proposed closure date.
