Dead chickens on south link road near douglas?

Oh no were they chickens, were they alive before it crashed..

Heard about it but thought it was offal or something I saw one car drive past and it looked like it was after coming out of a massacre of something

All offal as far as I could see.
No solid bits, just a load of blood and guts.
It was dragged up the road past both Douglas exits.

The road was closed at about 7, surprisingly it wasn't earlier as it was very dangerous...

ah jaysus, sounds rotten. I met the tailbacks just past Bishopstown roundabout. A Garda doing point duty on the Kinsale roundabout might have helped things but no sign of any..bar the lad in his van collecting a few traffic cones along the flyover.

The South Ring is so heavily used since it is the only orbital route of the south part of the city, when something happens we're all sitting ducks and all we can do is switch on one of the local stations and hope they will take a break from playing some crap music to inform us of the cause of the holdup

I've said it before, why don't they install large electronic signs on each of the main entrances onto the South Ring? In the event of an incident like this one all motorists could be given advance warning and avoid joining the gridlock.
OK, I know this means you'd need a traffic monitoring group all the time (or even 8am-8pm at least) and that costs money etc...just an idea.

Or a less expensive option, install traffic cams along more spots of the South Ring, not just the tunnel...that would be pretty cheap to do.
