  • Driving along parts of this road is dangerous enough. There are some places with very bends where the speed limit should be down to 50kph. This is the second fatal accident on this road in the last few months. I would not cycle on it as it is barely wide enough for two cars at some points.

    • How could a human being give this a red thumbs down

    • That’s a good question Phil. Some of the thumbs down can be accounted for by mistakes. Others, by immature trolls looking for attention. Unfortunately, others can be explained by unfamiliar reasons. Firstly, R.i.p. to the families involved. My comments will be of little help to them, even though I mean them no disrespect.There are unfortunately, people in this world who take pleasure in the misfortune of others. I wish it were not so, but it is. Hatred is one of the most prevalent aspects of one of the most common and serious personality disorders known to man and Ireland is no different in that respect. They are only a few per cent, but they are still lethal. To date, one of the biggest problems that we face is not the relatively small amount of these people with serious disorders, but the the fact that they understand that they are uniquely different, while we are largely unaware that they even exist. Some people put these figures higher and some lower. They appear sane like you or me. They don’t look or sound any different. However, they are. Totally. If you want proof, you can see it now on this site. Your own question is a tentative example of proof.
