Take it Handy

The road between Dunderry and Athboy via the Meadstown Road is bad in patches and absolutely brutal in other places.The potholes encountered range from those which would burst a tyre to those which would break an axle.Now some patches of road are o.k. but others are anything but and to negotiate it you have to duck and weave if you don't want to destroy your car.
Going from Dunderry to Athboy the worst part of the road is as you leave Dressogue behind you and come to the left turn for Rathcairne.
There is a set of temporary traffic lights just the far side of the turn to alert people to the potholes.
One wit,and I take my hat off to him,has placed a sign at the butt of the lights ,on which is written "Take it handy ,shit road ahead."
This person is on the button.
If you think that this road is bad you should test your car on the stretch of the "Stony Road"for fifty yards before the gateway to Billy Bligh's house.(The road called the Stony Road runs from Kilbride to the Athboy Trim Road and reached countrywide notice when the Border Fox kidnapped Billy and his friends all those years ago.)
It is only a ,matter of time  until someone is seriously injured or killed.
Rather than pay money we are not obligated by law to pay for the bailout of the private banks which were off the wall in their business practices,the kapos who run our country for the benefit of the troika should fix our roads.
But there again we are only culchies and don't count.
