    Castlebar Town Council decided in a controversial vote on Friday to rename Sir Ernst Chain Road in Castlebar. There has been controversy over the naming of this road after an English ‘Sir' who had little to do with Castlebar. The decision to remove the name plate from the link road that runs from Moneen to the Airport between Baxter and McHale Park was made by a 6 to 3 majority and was followed immediately a debate on whose name should now go on the road.

    Finally agreement was reached with a 5 to 4 majority vote to honour Castlebar's most prominent road builder of recent decades. The roads into Castlebar - the N5 and the fine bypass that runs through the Lawn and the centre of the town are all due to the sterling efforts of Mr Padraig Flynn former Minister for Transport and subsequently EU Commissioner.

    "Sh1tebag Avenue"? It does have a certain ring to it.
