The annoying thing locally is that the road out of Killybegs westwards is
terrible, and plans have been made for at least 30 years to improve it;
apparently work on roads was not desired by the Greens, so even when there was
money about there was no move to do anything.

But parking has been removed from Killybegs town centre and there are new
explicit speed bumps on tiny, narrow roads where no-one was speeding anyway, so
that huge demographic that values the pedestrian experience in this very
car-dependent part of the world feels better?
