They are on that stretch of road very regularly. Inevitably itâs a Saturday or Sunday morning, have met them more than a few times.
Needless to say nothing will be done until someone is killed.

Wasnt one of them killed in naas on the n7? I thought it was strange there was so many people on the bridge over the road before the bend as i passed. Scary enough tbf. Surely aomeone could monitor social media to get a tip off for when these happen. The folks involved arent shy of having their whole life online
His house was burnt out earlier today apparently
Almost an hour now stuck in my cage behind two accidents on the m7 at Limerick. The person playing Grace in a car near me is skating on thin ice now.

Drink and drug driver left Garda inspector for dead
DAVID RALEIGHA Limerick mother-of-two left an off-duty Garda inspector for dead in a ditch after severing his foot when she knocked him down off his bicycle while high on a cocktail of drink and drugs, a court heard today.
Niamh McDonnell (30) woke up on the morning in question and smoked a cannabis joint before going to work at a creche in west Co Limerick.
After finishing work about 2.30pm, McDonnell went to a pub where she consumed five vodkas and five shots of whiskey, liquor and tequila.
McDonnell, from Gortskagh, Castlemahon, Co Limerick, turned down an offer from a friend to drive her home from the pub on June 30th, 2022.
Instead of accepting the lift, McDonnell got behind the wheel of her mother-in-lawâs navy blue Volkswagen Passat, heavily intoxicated. On her route home she collided with off-duty Garda inspector Niall Flood (53) from behind, Limerick Circuit Court heard.
Mr Flood, who was cycling responsibly on a straight stretch of road, wearing safety clothing and with a flashing light on his bike, was thrown onto the bonnet of the car and into the air before landing chest deep in a foot of water in a ditch.
The inspector, based at Newcastlewest Garda station, was left with âlife-changing injuriesâ, the court heard.
Mr Floodâs foot was âripped offâ in the impact and he was left temporarily blind and âbleeding outâ in the ditch. He also had fractures to his spine, shoulder and ribs.
McDonnell did not stop after hitting the inspector, and drove home with her windscreen smashed and with a flat tyre. A Garda forensic examination of the scene could not find any evidence McDonnell had ever applied the carâs brakes.
The court heard when McDonnell got home, her partner found the severed foot still wedged into the front of the car and he immediately alerted gardaĂ and the emergency services.
A motorist who witnessed the hit-and-run saved Mr Floodâs life by making a tourniquet for his injured leg before he was airlifted to Cork University Hospital.
McDonnell initially lied to gardaĂ telling them she had only one drink before driving.
However, gardaĂ presented her with CCTV footage of her drinking in the pub and bar receipts of the alcohol she had consumed, she admitted drinking the five vodkas and five shots and that she had âpanickedâ when she hit Mr Flood.
In his victim statement, Mr Flood, who could not attend court due to his ongoing struggle with his injuries said that what McDonnell did to him was âunforgivable and incomprehensibleâ.
âI was struck from the rear by a drunk and drug driver who left me for dead and bleeding out,â he wrote.
Mr Floodâs wife, Margaret Flood, fought back tears telling how she and her husband had been left âpsychologically and physically traumatisedâ by McDonnellâs âcriminalâ actions.
âShe [McDonnell] drove off and left him for dead, that is the cruel nature of the defendant . . . you would stop if you hit a dog.â
âIt has turned our lives upside down, this was no accident.â
McDonnellâs barrister, Brian McInerney SC, acknowledged his clientâs actions on the day had been âcriminalâ.
McDonnell pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing serious bodily harm to Mr Flood, driving while drunk, failing to stop at the scene, failing to provide assistance at the scene, and driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
Judge Tom OâDonnell said he would finalise his sentence on November 24th.
