    FOREWARNED: The 'poor-mouth' excuse is about to become the norm. Wicklow County Council are refusing to replace their 'welcome to Wicklow' signs on the N11. They claim this is because of cutbacks. The signs were removed last year. Only naked poles remain.

    You can enter Wicklow on any route and be totally unaware you've entered and left a pretty sizeable and vitally important Irish tourist county.

    What an absolute joke! Question is: how much of the allocation goes on salaries and pensions? Laughable as the roads staff are all on a work to rule - 1970s style. No work is done pro-actively.

    Added to the fiasco, they are building the Wicklow town port relief (road to nowhere) road that has sucked dry the non-national road budget.

    Take a trip on the arteries of Wicklow (back roads) and count the potholes, dangerous bends, MANGLED and filthy roadsigns and triffid like hedgerows that need cutting back.

    My invite! Shame on Wicklow County Council!!
