    Since when did the NRA have access to what the Northern Irish VMS signs are saying:

    Its probably to do with their Dublin - Newry travel times initative that the NRA and NI Roads Service are both involved in...

    Doesn't explain why they'd have bothered putting the M2 and M3 ones in though. Must be a case of having access to the NIRS system and just using all the data.

    There are also some Irish VMS's missing from that list - they have one on the entire N7 when there are at least two coming towards Newlands X, and theres one (with a ghosted burnt in message) on the Kildare Bypass (I think)...

    There are 2. One before J11 southbound and another just after the start of the M7 northbound at Portlaoise.

    That one at Portlaoise is from pre-Kildare/Monastevin bypass days, and was for suggesting diversion via Stradbally/Athy when the traffic through the towns on the old N7 was particularly insane. I'm not sure it was a VMS though - was it not a fixed message that could be switched on/off?
