Contacted for comment on this most recent story Mr. Peter O'Neill, Secretary of the Rathmore to N81 Road Action Group stated:


"When will the taxpayers of this country got some decent public services for the taxes we pay. County Council officials sit in their ivory towers with benchmarked salaries and pensions and leave our roads in a disgraceful dangerous state. It is about time they started using our taxes for what we pay them for. A safe road is not an unreasonable demand, we have paid our taxes to the central government and motor tax to the local authority for this; we pay them yet they do nothing. They seem to be masters at inactivity, procrastination, waffle and wasting our money".
