"Why Am I Paying Road Tax?": Drogheda Motorist Furious After Pothole in Duleek Wrecks His Car - 15/01/2026

from The Agenda

This morning on The Agenda we spoke to a Drogheda man named Kevin, who is not happy with the state of the roads and potholes around Louth and Meath. Only early yesterday morning while on his way to work, Kevin's alloy wheel and two tyres were badly damaged as a result of a pothole on the Donore Road - he had to get his alloy repaired, which he told us took a half day and the cost was massive - he lost half a day's work.Kevin also told us off air that there are four potholes on that road alone and that the lighting on that road at that time is so bad that the potholes aren't even visible. He says local councillors are receiving plenty of money to do up local Greenways, widen footpaths in the towns and everything else. “Why are they not looking after our Primary Roads: What are we paying Road Tax for?”Kevin told us all about the damage his car suffered and about his frustration at how bad the roads are.
