This morning, while going into town to give my daughter a lift to her job in Ennis, we drove over the new by-pass. (What's the correct spelling, btw?) When we waited at the obnoxious traffic lights, we watched a car on the north side slowing down, stopping and even pulling back to find the missing exit into town! Poor fella was probably trapped like many others coming from Shannon and trying to get into Ennis but having missed the last exit near Dromoland ...Anyway, a few minutes later in Ennis, I was really suprised how little traffic was on the old N18 towards Clarecastle and beyond. Fellow coworkers reported the same surprise this morning about a calm Ennis during early rush hours! However, there was quite a backlog further towards the joining of old and new N18. It was somewhat ironic to watch all the cars on the new road rushing by while we were standing or crouching along the dirty old main road ...
