Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    The road obviously wasn't closed. Either of them.
    Just had another look. Not a hope that the roads were closed. In the video of the 3 trucks alongside each other a truck has to pull in to let a car coming towards him pass. Also a car in the hard shoulder.

There was a touch of bumpers and the two cars stopped, the drivers got out, talked to each other, shook hands and went away''

    Thanked for comedy value

    I'm flabbergasted , by first the videos and now secondly by the responses.

    This is going out of control, what ever about the first video. The second video the road is certainly not closed and a car going the correct way down the road was forced into the hard shoulder to avoid a truck coming the wrong way down a road.

    Sure can't we all make a complaint to the Gardai in Castleisland.

    McAuliffe have been caught by the goolies. It have been in their interest to come out acknowledge the offences tell people what that they are going to do about cam it and apologise.

    No instead they threaten people.Hmmm
    wasting your time with castleisland!

    It hasn't gone out of control until they claim somebody's mailed death threats. Kind of unlikely for that to happen.

    Unless they were uninsured at the time.

    Part of the official statement McAuliffe Trucking have released includes:

    ''On Sunday 14/10/12 we had a photo shoot to start promotion of the Charity run. I had rang the Castleisland Gardai for permission on Friday 12/10/12 could we do a photo shoot on the N21 and the Castleisland Bypass. The Gardai gave me permission to do this.
    I then arrannged a meeting with all the staff for 3pm on Saturday 13/10/12 and we went through everything and assigned jobs and traffic controllers. I also carried out a full risk assessment and got everyones signature. Sundays weather was good and we all met in the yard and started our preparations. We had traffic controllers at the front and back for the 3 truck video shoot and then the rest was photo shoots at the view point and the bridge on the bypass of Castleisland.''

    Blatantly a pathetic attempt at damage control that comes far too late and after too much garbage that refutes the claim you had permission, an example is your bizarre copyright threats to try and hide your incompetance, also trying to act like your not a McAuliffe rep and just relaying info youve read somewhere is just embarrassing especially when you can provide no link to said statement.

    TBF, there's no proof of who this person is and what organisation (if any) they are associated with or represent. It could just be some randomer adding fuel to the fire. We're still waiting for an official press release from the two companies linked to these incidences.

    Will you ever feck off out of that.

    1. Why did you contact McAuliffes for this 'statement' that they haven't released to the media or posted to their website or FB page?
    and then
    2. Register on boards to post excerpts from the mystery 'statement'?

    I would agree here. But for the recent joining date, and post count of three. In this thread. Just a bit too coincidental methinks.

    Did anyone get a grab of their other videos? There were another two roundabout videos where the Mcauliffe drivers were acting the idiots as well.

    I just find it hard to believe that the management could associate themselves with such defenseless, life threatening behavior. The " we are above the law" mentality is obvious in all of the videos. Well I think they might find out in the coming days that they are not.

    McAuliffe, ummm I wonder is there any connection to this chap and his speed vans business which has sent driving in this country back to average speeds last seen in the 1960's?

    As a Kerryman I am ashamed that both these individuals share the citizenship of our fine and noble county.

    Isn't Commercial interaction on boards forbidden unless it is through the proper channel? If a user has registered to promote (or possibly limit damage) for a company, then it could be categorized as a spammer whom are usually subsequently banned!

    I'd imagine that this is less the work of a marketing manager and more the work of an undergrad thinking this would be a great final year project. If someone was actually paid money for this poorly thought out, executed and managed stunt, a P45 should be flung at them with gusto.
