The council should take note,

This is how you fix roads when they're broken!

If only our county councils were half as productive as these guys.

Japan fixed this quake-damaged road in just six days

Japan's world-class transportation infrastructure couldn't withstand this month's 9.0-magnitutde quake, but their construction teams are still amazing. This stretch of highway was repaired in just six days by a Herculean road crew. This is the triumph of Japanese engineering

Half as productive would be amazing, 1 percent as productive would even be a triumph.

To be fair they put it back together at a bit of a slant.

The road out to my parents house has pot holes so bad the neighbor lost a hub cap going into one. I say into rather than over. When I drive home with my brother I tend not to remember. He's living at home so he always shouts 'Pot Holes!' It's like an alien attack. I have to swerve around this little country road like life or death. They were filled only a few months ago.
It's seriously disgraceful. Even the main street of my home town is a state. Sometimes I can only despise the inefficiency of Ireland, having seen how things are done elsewhere.

Wonder how many lads Dublin Corporation would have standing around looking into that hole....

Tuam roads are an awful state. Though Loughrea were just as bad last time I was there.

Would love to see how the council here would go about repairing a equally damaged road like in Japan. Would take them 6 years and €1m over-budget. A year later, it would probably collapse again.

This country is a disgrace for roads, but if they had done them right the first time around they wouldnt keep falling apart.

Some main roads in kerry it feels like you driving on the moon theirs so many crators.

This project started in Nov 2010, and this http://cobhedition.com/?p=9809 was released on Jan 15. Still not finished, and the bit they have done is like driving over a potato field.

They obviously don't see the craft and skill which goes into 5 men standing around a hole leaning on their shovels, sipping tea while looking at 1 man doing all the work.
