They also used to park in the field entrance opposite Maxol heading into Newbridge from The Curragh, yet another place I am unsure if there ever was an accident. The logic with the positioning of the gatso vans defies logic sometimes. On the flip side of the coin, they used to park on the N7 just before The Poitín Stil where there have been multiple accidents - only one yesterday. I haven't seen them there for a long time now.

The amount of idiots that pull out and straight into the overtaking lane is silly. The maxol garage accident is a few years ago. Christmas, guy had drink after fight with girlfriend, crashed and died on the outbound to Kildare part of the road. You see flowers placed just past maxol (200m) every so often. The new camera in the morning is inbound just before the join from kingswood. On the hard shoulder. Was there for the last 2 fridays.

Always greeting. Drivers in the main going over Sexes Bridge are very accomodwating slowing down when people walk in the middle of the road. Bad: The amount of dogsh1t left on the footpaths is a shocking eyesore. The amount of rubbish thrown into the hedges alongside the road going over Sexes Bridge is woeful I wonder just who the people who wear disposable gloves and when finished throw them on the ground, who they expect to pick them up? Is it a case of 'I'm all right jack, FU'? Sorry for the rant, but it's time we took pride in our Town. Stay safe everyone!

I'd have some life questions to ask them

Between the kids walking in it or pushing a pram through it, id have to clean it once every couple of weeks. Theres a good chunk of people who just couldnt care less and leave there dogs out to roam around.
