    No word on when they'll now finish - the archaeologists are in and who know's how long they will take? And yes they decided we weren't inconvenienced enough so they're now resurfacing a stretch of road between Mallow and Cork - I've heard this should be complete by Xmas but I wouldn't hold my breath.

    Close to being finished it seems.. so close...

    Not the neatest job I've ever seen on road resurfacing mind you. The change in level at the cross for Liscarroll/Doneraile seems unnecessary!

    That's because once the main work is done they will finish it off with a final top layer of tarmac to level it all out - from one end of the village to the other.

    Cork to Limerick this afternoon-25 minutes to get through this village.
    I think Percy French had Buttevant in mind and digging for gold in the streets when he wrote that song. It's close to 4 years since they began digging up the street.

    A few weeks ago they teased me. No works or temporary lights for about a week. I was delighted. Then bang, back again, delay, delay, delay.

    The level of incompetence is staggering, how can it possibly be justified that the works are taking this long? It beggars belief. Archaeological work aside (which are long since finished), how they are still arsing about is unfathomable.

    If you're doing Cork - Limerick you'd be better off going via Mitchelstown

    Cork-Limerick is easier done via the M8 and R513, unless it's a Blarney-Raheen drive.
