Who is going to pay 1.90 to avoid going through Fermoy

anyone who does so must be in a huge rush, or in trouble with a few lads from Fermoy. the worst about it is they're bringing in a 10c price hike right in the middle of a recession.

i can't fcking believe it, the recession has been going on for quite a while now and people are still putting up the prices. can't wait for the negative inflation to kick in

deflation. when the rate of inflation goes below 0. the past few years its been at around 5% so people are used to seeing a 5% increase in everything at the start of January

I'd pay a lot of money to avoid going near Fermoy.

I use the M8 Fermoy bypass about four times per week and love the road.

I happily pay the toll to experience a safer, quicker drive. I can accept that it's annoying for people if they have to use it every day, but personally, if one only has to use it two or three times per week, I think it's stingy and tight not to pay it.

That said, it's a disaster that more trucks don't use it - though I have noticed an increase in these lately. In addition, I suspect that more traffic will use it when the next section of the M8 opens in June.

Budget = VAT increases

Anything that bypasses part of Cork is a bonus in my book and worth paying for.

I don't like paying it, but it saves loads of time. I have an account there now which saves 10% anyway. I'd prefer to go to Fermoy though, than that great Sh*thole that is the capital.
