    I note that nearly every glass panel on one side of the old bridge is shattered.


    While decrying the stupid vandalism by some cretinous knuckledragging inbred morons, could it not have been designed as vandalproof?

    Ah for heaven's sake ! It probably was toughened somewhat if it didn't shatter all over the place.

    Article online from the Nationalist about the Blueway on the Suir, it looks like a great idea, but when they mentioned the slalom infrastructure I must admit i thought of the potential for vandalism straight away :(
    Some people giving out about it, is there anything controversial about it?

    The glass in the bridge was certainly toughened.
    A couple were damaged during the floods when a panel partially detached due to debris hitting the bridge when it was lowered.
    If I remember correctly though, it is known who did the rest, out of control kids! Someone spotted them doing it. Hooligans (for want of a better word)

    Gona be difficult to repair that many panels now though due to the cost.

    Quite a good idea and no chance of getting your car locked inside the gates.

    Bit of a walk from tesco down to the old entrance where you access the race course from though. It's a good 10-15 minute walk.

    There was a fire in Devane's in Irishtown this morning.
    The building does not look too damaged from the outside but I suspect smoke and water damage.

    Yes, especially as the ground is flat all the way. You can enjoy your walk (one of the best exercises of all)..... relaxed in the knowledge that your car is parked safely.

    What is badly needed now is a footpath from the Fethard Road roundabout on the opposite side to Tesco to the Powerstown Park, and also some pedestrian lights or crossings, its a shame that so many people crossing the N24 have to take their lives into their hands.

    A long standing politician with his almost now defunct party has been so busy saying no to everything that issues like this have never been addressed.

    ya, there's a cycle path going down the Cashel road, the motorists will be happy with that!!! they're free parking will be gone, another way to make people shop out in the poppyfields etc.

    In fairness its people working in town centre who primarily use the spaces on the Cashel road. Very rarely see shoppers there. The space's are all gone by 10am. Motorist v Cyclist debate is certainly not unique to clonmel.

    I don't follow how just painting a cycle lane (and I'm a cyclist!) on the Cashel road is going to stop people parking on it.
    What about residents?

    And another thing. The cycle lane coming down the hill from Boston/Abbott goes past the entrance to two estates. I presume(!) a stop sign will be painted on the cycle lane to warn cyclists but I can still see a major accident in the offing if cyclists are flying down the cycle lane and a car comes out of the estate. Certainly where the lane is placed at the exit from Auburn requires a car to go past the cycle lane to clearly see up and down the Cashel road.

    With the 50kph speed limit on that hill I reckon the cyclists will be coming down there faster than the cars 😛
    I thought the same thing as you about the junctions with the housing estates. It's an accident waiting to happen.

    Why would you put the stop sign on the cycle lane. The stop or yield should be coming out of the estate, the cycle lane would have right of way.

    So for example, at the Heywood road, the cycle path has right of way across the road there?

    I don't think so, but I'll have to check.

    I was talking about coming out of estates. In relation to across the Heywood road i do not know what/where you mean. Do you mean going down western road? If so the cyclist would have right of way when on a green light like traffic

    Edit. Where is the cycle path across the Heywood Road?
