“It is so safe it is unsafe.” That's how Clare County Councillor PJ Kelly (FF) described a directive by the National Roads Authority (NRA) to remove a proxy hard shoulder from a section of the Ennis to Kilrush Road. The NRA maintains that the alteration to the N68 at Darragh was a matter of safety but local people and their councillors don't agree. Many of those living along that stretch of road have now warned they will hold Clare County Council legally responsible for any other accidents resulting from the change. The local authority covered over the hard shoulder with grass on the direction of the NRA.

I think it is an absolute joke at what the NRA have done to the road at darragh and also at entrance to tullagower quarry to knockerra cross. it is these hard sholuders that allow heavy haulage vechiles to pull in and stop to provide free flowing movement to normal traffic. The NRA should take another look at them selves and get out from the offices and actually see what they have done to a once perfect stretch of road. They have wasted millions that could have been spent a lot better.
