    According to RTE news there is 40,000 tonnes left, if they managed to burn through half their supplies in less than a week, we're in for a bad winter ahead.

    If the M3 and M50 are not gritted then the private companies who run these roads are presumably to blame.

    Originally from Edinburgh so seen weather like this every year. I can only assume we do not have the infastructure here to cope. Gritters and snow ploughs have to be continually covering the main routes to keep them clear. It's not happening.

    My guess is that the finance is not there. To be talking about "saving" the available grit for the weekend already is nothing short of disgraceful.
