Southern Irish roads from the mid 90's

In fairness credit where it is due, some improvements between 1990 - 2010.

I think in the north for any public sector projects once you go over £30 - £40m that is where the Client side is usually out of their depth.

The individual in question passed away 1 day after his wedding.............

Body was embalmed before a post mortem could be done..........

The deceased lost 6 stone in weight in 5 months yet his partner did not notice........

The Ploughing Championship is due to be held on the farm of the deceased later this year.....fair to say fairly decent size farm.

Think about that section in Maghera, they need to resurface the road, as they made that big a mess putting in new footpaths. Before putting that idiotic thing there.

At certain times of the day it's a great road. The problem is, those certain times are narrow windows that most people don't use.

The M50 is no different from any other major city ringroad fed by tributaries. Great off peak and a nightmare at peak times.
