    I was travelling along this road a few days ago and it struck me that in the year 2011 this route is nothing short of an embarrassment and a total disgrace. It is dangerously narrow, is very twisty and belongs to the year 1911 and not 2011. It is a death trap.

    If you compare it to the M6 motorway that traverses the south of the county the N5 is nothing more than a goat track. It is a complete farce.

    When is this road going to be properly rebuilt and realigned? Anything is better than the current road.:mad::(

    I see that there was another fatal accident on this section of the N5. This road would be an embarrassment to a Third World Country.

    It is frankly outrageous how long this road has been neglected when you consider the massive motorway building programme elsewhere in Ireland over the past 15 years.:mad:

    I know that a bypass for Ballaghadereen is set to go ahead soon, but when will the rest of this atrocious goat track be replaced?:confused:

    blame Flynn
    when there was money floating about years ago to upgrade the roads in the west of Ireland it all went to Mayo.
