    three more reasons to choose a 182 Volkswagen they say..

    In cork city there's hundreds of reasons not to buy any 182 car.

    OP, check out Watercourse road from Blackpool library to T&A. "Best" road in Cork in my opinion.

    Glad I found this thread, OP. You pretty much photographed my commute and I agree, it's a nightmare! I find myself driving in the middle of road and constantly swerving to avoid potholes every day. Especially around Sundays Well which generally isn't the nicest driving experience regardless of the road condition. West Cork is desperate but you'd kind of expect it on country roads, not in the city!

    A good few people at work have emailed the council about potholes. I probably will email too but I'm in constant contact with them about parking issues, so I'd say they're sick of me. Although I guess it is a different department.

    I had to get my wheels balanced recently and the guy at the tyre shop said everyones wheels seem to be fecked from potholes this year.

    I saw yesterday that Cork city has gotten extra funding for road repair and it looks like it's money desperately needed. Not to repair the road, but to train up some competent road repair men. Not sealing repairs is asking for trouble.

    The root cause of the vast majority of the issues in this thread are poor remedial works, in particular the cutting and sealing of road openings for services. Potholes happen, but the chucking in of cold tar and letting the road traffic compact it is incredibly lazy and extremely wasteful since the "repair" won't hold. Potholes need to be cleaned out, stoned, compacted, tarred, compacted and finally sealed.
