    Yes I rang the Guards after it happened to let them be aware of it.

    Just missed that this morning on the way to the train station. Is it a pot hole or or something to do with the work that's been going on there over the last few days?

    Huge crater - hit it last night at 7.30pm with an almighty bang suffering puncture in the process. Brought it to garage this morning and need brand new tyre. Alloys ok and no other damage that I can see but I don't know how tbh. :(

    Absolute disgrace that if they were doing work there that it would be left like that :mad: Getting on to FCC as soon as I get a chance

    Thanks! will look out for that later.
    Theres also one outside odweyers on the main road to look out for, more of a crease in the road than a pot hole.
    You should see the two in the centre of the road in chieftains way balbriggan... FCC roads contacted and they replied saying that the management company is to blame, but i thought the council had taken the roads in charge there... Mgmnt company my ar$e. they dont do anything and have left these holes in the road for the last 5 years.

    It was a fairly big one alright

    They have some cones on the bad bends at Barnageeragh now:eek: I saw two near misses so be very careful, I can only imagine what it will be like when it gets dark.

    Try ,dark in the rain with a two year old undoing her seat belt and an 11 and. 17 year old fighting because one or the other took the front seat.
    Thoses cones don't light up much until your nearly on them and If they are mucky sure youd nearly be wearing the cone before you realised its there .
    There should be very advanced notice.
    Thanks for the advice .

    Seeing as how the Giro d'Italia will be covering that road next year I'd fully expect it to be fixed properly fairly soon.

    There is another bit its not a pothole but it fairly shakes my car (i have 18" wheels with fairly low profile).
    It's the same size as one of those snakes that you would leave at a door for a draft, Parallel to the bus stop ouside St Mologas school... goes the whole width of the road, who in their right mind thought when they layed that down that it was ok and a good/tidy job? :confused:
