Poor Journalistic Fact checking

From the clare echo website. Its accessed from the Tulla Road. If they ever build the access to Our Lady's maybe that will be true but for now it's poor journalism.

Yes, for the Pat Mulcair site between Oakleigh Wood and the railway track, that is a very misleading description of the location by the writer of the article. At certain zoom levels on on Google Maps, the placename "Ballycorey" appears across from Al Hayes Motors on the Gort Road. I wonder if he saw this and incorrectly assumed that is the location of the proposed development. The Tulla Road is not even mentioned anywhere in the article, so I think the journalist didn't understand what he was writing about. As it happens, Sheils and Dulick Motors are closer to the site than Al Hayes Motors, even though there is no connection to the Gort Road anyway.
