    I think someone should contact Breda O’Brien in Suicide Awareness and give her fair warning about who she's dealing with.

    I highly doubt driving articulated lorries into oncoming traffic is the awareness about suicide they'd like to portray.

    If it was for "awareness for lorries driving into oncoming traffic" they did a great job

    On reflection on McAuliffe's purported statement on the issue, I think it is completely abhorrent trying to detract from their numerous stupid acts by raising the plight of a young girl suffering from leukemia.

    Charitable work is always to be commended but bringing it up here to mitigate your antics is disgusting.

    Dunno if this one has been re-uploaded but sure can't harm to have them up a few times anyway.

    What did they mean by saying that they named a truck after a girl that died?

    Actually, just looking at that second video again, I notice that there's a queue of traffic behind them.

    As well, if you look at I think about 14 seconds in, you can see a car driving in the hard shoulder away from the trucks. So the truck on the extreme left is driving into on coming traffic, forcing at least one car to take evasive action.

    Fcuking Muppets.:mad:


    And at 24 seconds there is a Yaris parked in the hard shoulder, one of the trucks nearly ploughs into the back of it.

    Just read a good point on Broadsheet that i dont think has been raised on here yet, if the truck was only parked under a bridge for a minute due to the driver not knowing the directions why does the publicity shot at the end of the video still have it parked under the bridge?

    Exactly! McAuliffe Trucking spend a lot of time advertising for Purly Irish considering they apparently have no connection!

    Did they mention they do charity work in their statement? Must have been subtle, I didn't notice :pac:

    Lol I hope the company was thinking at least one of them is deleted for good. They did mention they were viewing boards.ie last night and someone from Truly Irish made an account to come up with a charity work story as if that's some real kind of excuse for piss poor behaviour on the roads.

    At 4.10 in that one - blasts the horn for the filming, scares the shite out of the car turning right.

    A statement will probably follow stating the drivers on the roundabouts were unsure which exit to take;)

    Guys I think I might have to remove the vidoes because McAuliffe's have told me that due to copyright issues they have contact the Garda about them.

    (Which is a bit fishy, because if they claim to have nothing to do with the video's how can they claim copyright?)

    Unless I am very much mistaken, alleged infringement of copyright is generally a civil matter. The Gardaí would have nothing to do with it unless it was some kind of commercial counterfeiting operation.

    They certainly wouldn't be involved with investigations over terms of use of videos someone posted on YouTube!

    Indeed.

    So Truly Irish, would you like to once again deny any knowledge of this piece of "advertising".

    I thought the Hilton Hotel thread was good but this one beats all, bloody brilliant!

    On a side note, Shane says that the lorry under the bridge was stopped to allow one of the other guys to come down, sit in with him and show him the way. Does this mean an employee was going to walk down the slip road onto the dual carriageway and hop into the lorry? If so that's illegal as well.

    Seems legit

    A dual carriageway is not a restricted road. It's perfectly legal for pedestrians to walk along a DC and its slip roads.
    That alleged 'official statement' reeks of bs imo.
