Lunar crater discovered in Kilcullen

Just to keep an eye on things, here's the latest pothole which has sprung up on the roads around Kilcullen. I pictured it this morning, just past Castlemartin on the Newbridge Road.

I'm told by those who have felt it that it has been there a few days now. Caused, no doubt, by the heavy truck traffic that uses Kilcullen to get to the road south ... because, in another example of Kildare County Council's wonderful motorway planning, they failed to put an exit ramp off the M9 at Kinneagh Hill.

Strange thing, they could have done it easily because they built a service road right there while they were building the motorway. Now the town is crucified by much of the truck traffic that wants to get from the Carlow Road to the Cork Road.

But enough of that particular rant. I wonder how long it will take the powers that be to repair this latest crater?

Properly.

So far, there's been no visible response to the need to clean the footpath at the same point. Even though the Diary's story on it was sent directly to the relevant department in St Mary's.
