Any idea where those Turbine Blades are going?

I'd love to see how they manage to get those long blades out of the dock. I know there was work to lower the road under rail station but is that really enough? Also what route can they take that doesn't involve knocking over the traffic lights as they turn?

They bring them out on trailers at 4 or 5 in the morning, creeping around the corners.

Depends where they are headed. Mostly out lough atalia, monivea road, cross over to tuam Rd at trapper's/musgraves and then left if heading for moycullen & Connemara. Straight out if going to tuam site.

Here's a video I took one night coming out of Tesco. It was a tricky job for the first turbine blade truck

And now I've found something to amuse me on Youtube for the next few hours! Transporting awkward objects on roads..
