A5 WTC (New Road from Aughnacloy to Derry)

[Walter Cronc]

Wee Jeff seriously annoyed that this is happening. He's luke warm that it's happening, obviously can't refuse it but it's through gritted teeth.

I see some farmer on that A5 road annoyed that he's losing land. He was probably one of the lads who was holding it up. Sew it into him as some many unecessary deaths on that road recently because of these reviews etc.

For unionists, it must be this on one day and on the same day, the Brits looking for the wee 6 to raise more money.

Yip he is Hamilton Hassard part of the Alternative A5 Alliance who have been against the upgrade from the word go.

That a**hole shouldn't be given one second of airtime. Countless young lives wasted cos a bigoted tr**p like him doesn't want to see a road connecting Derry n Dublin. Going on about high quality agricultural land. It's not County Meath you headbanger!

Great news for us in the west.

I didn't know you were from Mayo, Trailer. Or are you a Rossie ? #Jaysus

I didn't see him, but I did see an interview with another Protestant farmer who could lose up to 50 acres(!). He was all for it and quite emotional as he knew someone killed on the road. "No blade of grass is worth more than someone's life"

Southern by-pass for Enniskillen given the green light by O'Dowd.  A good news day all-round today.

This should help the town centre in Enniskillen plus benefit the link up to Sligo.

All roads, if you pardon the pun, points to an All-Ireland agenda. Logistically getting ready for it.

Good to see.

I'd imagine Unionists  lately  feel like they are  being cast adrift from their mothership,  and slowly being  absorbed by osmosis into a United Ireland .

Albeit a mothership who has  screwed them over time and time again . Although , they'll still  be blindly loyal to a  land who  is clearly trying to get  rid of them.

Time for  the DUP to talk about  the bridge to Scotland again

Heard an interview with the deputy leader of the TUV on GMU this morning. He was easier in the ear than Jim but spent his time bemoaning the neglect by GB.

Fair play to him. I'm sure they'll get a pretty penny for the ground?

Another bad smash. O'Dowd needs to get the finger out and get the Omagh - Ballygawley stretch built asap

A 30 year old man killed. Yet another life lost.

Is it true that its the brother of current Tyrone player? God help the poor family. That road isn't fit for purpose. How many lives does it take?

Really think its a good idea to be speculating online about the identity of a crash victim before the victim has been named publicly? There are good reasons why it takes time for the names to be released in these circumstances.

It has probably been answered on here before – but what was the reasoning that it couldn't go ahead in 3 separate sections?
IIRC some of the original objections came in the Omagh(Strabane?) to Derry section because of rivers linked to the foyle?

Omagh to Ballygawley is terrible

A total of 49 people have now died on the A5 since a planned upgrade of the road was announced in 2007.

In these situations it never does harm to wait agreed

I doubt if it could be properly answered, there was never any need to do it all in one go. Roads all over the country were improved in sections.

The problem was that the Irish government promised money and then got hit by the crash . The North doesn't have the budget for this project. Things then got held up in the courts. Then Stormont collapsed. You couldn't make it up. And people are still dying
