      The amount of times I have seen potholes get fixed and within 6 weeks they are as bad as ever

      This somewhat explains that old joke about the Cork astronaut on the moon.

      Can attest to this. Both Cork City and County is atrocious. Even in the neighbourhoods the potholes can expand for 6 months before anyone in the council notices.

      Buttevant in Cork has the worst roads in Ireland

      There is no nation of people who can make the most insane but accurate similes for any situation than Irish

      The repeatedly filed potholes on the main N Road between mallow and killarney have been there for years. They keep patching instead of just replacing the surface.  Cork county Council should hang their head in shame for the state of that N road. They actually installed 40 kph speed reductions for the crappy sections rather than fix the road!

      Road from kilavullen to glenvile is lethal. Most smaller towns roads are like cheese. Main roads

      No worry, there’s 200M for expanding the Cork airport so Apple employees can work on their carbon footprint

      The main road from Cork to Limerick is a damn mess. Munster needs intercity motorways badly.

      There are 2.4 million cars on the roads in Ireland. Assuming the average road tax is €300 that means the state receives €741 million in road tax annually. That pales in comparison to the amount of duty, carbon tax and VAT the state receives annually, about €4.7 billion. (according to chatgpt).
      And they won’t properly fund local authorities to repair potholes.

      Any time I’ve reported a pothole they’ve usually been fixed fairly quickly but the overall state of many of the roads is shocking. Just did a bit of research and Cork has by far the largest road network in the country, almost double that of Galway the next largest, yet receives the third lowest allocation of funds per 1km of road(well the county council, couldn’t find stats for how much is allocated for the city council).

      On top of that Cork tends to experience the most flooding events, storm Babet back in 2023 really did a number on the roads here and there are so many roads that have only been patched up after Babet and some that probably haven’t been touched at all. More funding is clearly needed.
