    @Jonathan Kerr: for a county of a population no more than 160k…. Donegal has way too many accidents. Standards of driving and or the roads must be sub standard.

    Can’t argue with statistics.

    @Fabio Dillon: there were 10 fatalities on Donegal roads in ’16. 21 in Dublin. 158k ppl in Donegal and 1.8 million in Dublin.

    Donegal roads are a joke.

    @Pat Troy: Or maybe fix the roads which chuck vehicles off them as soon as a wheel slips off when someone coming the other way refuses to move over.
