Anyone commuting to work will notice the large increase in traffic in the last week as students return to schools. One of our listeners, Cormac in Dublin, got in touch with us via twitter. He said: ‘The chaos in Dublin with back to school traffic proves we should implement my idea of staggered secondary school opening times to 10am instead of 8:30 / 9am’. 

What do you think about this? Is it a good idea? Would it help to alleviate congestion? interfere with your morning schedule? Is back to school traffic making your commute hell? Well Susan Keogh got the views of Cormac and other listeners.
