Would they ever just start building the fucking thing. They should build option A as well for people going to Waherfurd, Wexford, Tipp town the otherside of Cark etc. They can run a high speed train line down the middle of motorway while they are at it. It doesn’t have to be either or.
Why wouldn’t they just join up with the existing M8? would seem like the least invasive option? Assume they don’t want to add the volume of traffic to that side of Cork city?
Yeah - that side can barely handle traffic as it is —
No need for it, they should just let Tipp Town die.
An option to get a train to Waterford other than the wan that gets in at 11:30am would be nice.
Are these drink driving checks on the motorway a new thing?
We breathalysed on m7 this afternoon
Saw them twice before on m50. They cause some delays to traffic.
They do them an odd time. Just an optics thing really, it takes a ridiculous amount of guards to do one so I’d say they will give you zero leeway on anything as they’ll need to make their numbers.
Where was it an what time out of curiosity? Depending on the time there would be a fair auld tailback because of it.
I’ve never been breathalysed.
Road was still closed this evening must have been an awful smash
I wasn’t long being an Lplate and the mrs being ill on the way home from Limerick after a heavy night out… I had to jump in and drive with Fuck all driving done really… That band of road in the dark hungover and with some cunt up my hole was a test.
Too much additional pressure on tunnel and it wouldn’t cater as well for Kerry
Id never be on it really. Id say I havent driven it 5 times in my life
Was breathalyzed once. Amiens St at 530 pm on an August Bank Holiday Friday. I hadn’t had a drink for 8 months so I reckoned I was safe enough.
It was 330pm or so after the turn for cork coming south. 30-40 guards plus road crew. My first ever time being breathalysed would you believe?
Traffic was not too heavy at that time. I had no lic NCR on me so was warned that I was being tested against the lower level allowed
Revenue pulling on the way into Shannon last Friday at 9 am. Tailback onto the motorway. Wankers. Everyone of them standing out on the road with plastic bottles, each one more overweight than the next… I’d hate to have been late for a flight or having to be at a 9am work meeting…
Fair stint off it Fagan.
Not planned but I’ve done nearly two months off it now
Living on the border, the customs are out regularly. Normally they only pull the nordie regs for diesel
