The M20 website is really nicely done. Quite an exciting project. I travel the N20 weekly, this is a badly needed piece of infrastructure. Hope we can now get to the delivery stage. corklimerick.ie/june-2025-up...

Interesting insight into why the Jack Lynch tunnel seems to be constantly undergoing maintenance resulting in closures. It was closed for 23% of nights in 2024 which surely is excessive?

No snow in Cork this morning. I've yet to find a weather app that can predict Cork weather, even within 24 hours in advance. "Zoom Earth" predicts snow fall after 1:30pm. Let's see 🧐
