On 15th January 2008 this issue made it to national radio. Local resident Joe Bergin was heard live on national radio station Newstalk 106 explaining the problems of this road and what people were doing about it. One particular pothole was entered into Newstalk 106's competition to find the worst pothole in Ireland :-)
You can see the pothole at http://newstalk.ie/newstalk/breakfast-show/recommends.html or listen to the interview as a podcast at http://www.newstalk.ie/newstalk/podcasts/1/the-segmented-breakfast-show.xml .
