The road past the merry ploughboy has been closed for some time now, anyone know what happened?

A section of Edmondstown Rd (R116) is closed between the Merry Ploughboy and Tibradden Rd (R113) until November 2018 for works. Local access will be maintained and diversions signposted.

You might want to get back to Mr. Corcoran or let the Council know they have it all wrong

"THE Edmondstown Road is closed after unauthorised excavation work undertaken by a landowner destabilised the road – an “unprecedented and catastrophic” situation for the region that is causing major access issues for residents and local businesses"

Apologies - I was mixing up the location.

Tis a bloody nuisance. Use that road all the time.

There's a strip of land on the east side of that road which is on a steep slope and filled with trees. Successive owners of the land have attempted to get permission to build on it and failed.

I wonder if the guy who owns it now decided to take out the trees in protest or something. That would badly undermine the stability of the slope.
