    There isn't a "castledermot bypass" as such, what you're talking about the M9 Carlow-Kilcullen scheme. Before Christmas is probably the best indication at the moment.

    Hi BazBu, The section of motorway from the start of the Castledermot bypass to Kilcullen opens 15th December 09. I got that from a reliable source. And he is usually right, he was right about the Carlow Bypass!

    I really hated that stretch of road from Crookstown to the Priory pub! always stuck behind some woman doing 60km/h Or some git in a tractor that refused to pull in laughing at the build up of traffic behind!

    And of course the build up in Castledermot will be gone forever!!! YEPEEEEEEE
    It's funny the way people break the lights in Castledermot from all directions, I was nearly lambasted by one of them sand and gravel lorries because he felt there was no reason to stop just because of a red light in Castledermot!
    I blew the horn at him and i got the 2 fingers of course he shouted something not worth repeating. Really though I think cameras there are really necessary there!

    I believe there is an E.U directive now for facilities to be installed at something like every 30KMs apart??? I hear there is to be a garage or something built at or near the Kilcullen interchange and in Carlow near the Bagenalstown direction.?

    One thing at Kilcullen that would be fantastic is an upgrade of the section of motorway after the tunnel on the M9 north to 2 lanes joining the M7 north,(where it's currently 2 lanes to 1) That IS a very dangerous Part of the road where everyone races through the tunnel to get ahead of everyone else then try to be the first out on the M7!

    Also I would love to see an interchange before the tunnel to link the M9 north to the M7 south for Limerick, because in order to get on to the M7 south from the M9 north you have to go all the way north to Naas and back down again which is total madness and typical of the way things were done in this country. "ah shur it is good enough for now".
