No sign of Tom's signs


A pub and restaurant bypassed with the opening of the Kilcullen-Castledermot motorway section is having no luck about signage which was promised to be in place before the road was opened.

“It was agreed in the Oral Hearing that our business would be properly signed as part of the project, as we have provided services to motorists on the main road for decades,” says Tom Wall of The Priory. “But not only has nothing yet been done in this regard, but there’s not even a signpost to Kilgowan on the Kilcullen approach on the M9.”

Tom has in fact been forced to make his own signs and affix them to the official signs, as well as putting in further direction signs for motorists who do want to stop off at The Priory.
