Micheal could need a lifejacket going for a pint of milk to the shops.
Local election candidate Micheal Cholm Mac Giolla Easbauig has always been one to paddle his own canoe.
But going for a paddle in his own canoe to highlight the state of West Donegal’s roads goes above and beyond the call of duty.
This road at Arland is in such a bad state of repair that ten families find it impassable most days because of the number of potholes.
Micheal says Donegal County Council has classified the road as private and so it will be a long time before the road is addressed.
He is now calling for a reintroduction of the Local Improvement Scheme which catered for non-pubic road repairs.
“This road is in a terrible state and these potholes are just unacceptable.
“People cannot just be ignored like this when the road is classified as private. People have a basic right to transport when they are paying road tax,” he said.
