    She’s 90 and was driving? She shouldn’t have done this but it’s too late now. RIP

    I know the road and it’s a lethal one. All bad windy turns,narrow, hopeless surface. It’s about time cork county council gets off their useless lazy backsides and actually go out and around rural west cork county and see the state of roads there. God rest that lady.
