“Inish” prompts action on Carn potholes Work to repair country lanes around Carndonagh has got under way, thanks to the “Inish Times.”The peninsula’s favourite paper had received numerous complaints from local people about the amount of potholes in the area.Local motorists said their complaints that the Gort and Carrowmore roads outside Carndonagh were “falling on deaf ears.”  However, a number of calls from the “Inish Times” to the Carndonagh office of Donegal County Council has appeared to remedied the situation as work to fill in the offending holes has commenced.Prior to the work beginning local motorists said they were becoming “very frustrated.”One said:  “I am sick complaining because it is getting me no where. I have to drive past them three or four times a day to get in and out of my home. I am getting really annoyed about it now as I have made many complaints but nothing seems to be getting done.”“Taxi drivers are beginning to refuse to come out the road now as it is so bad. There are a lot of potholes and they can be very deep. It is even worse in the wet weather because you can’t judge how bad the potholes are. One of these days a car is going to be severely damaged by them. I also know that our roads are not the only ones involved, it is the same throughout the peninsula.” Another road user said: “It isn’t great but I know that usually the council are straight out to fix it as soon as possible. Any time I have reported a pothole it was usually taken care of in the space of a couple of weeks,. I am sure the council will be doing what they can to cover the area as soon as possible.”
