-----it is probably not 10 km. It might only be 4 km. However, even if it were 10 km until one gets to the motorway to Limerick, one is talking about eight minutes. I believe all of us, and particularly legislators, have a responsibility. HGV drivers might be upset because they are tied to time and can be penalised for late deliveries and the like, but on the road I mentioned from Donegal to Sligo they are just as likely to be delayed by being behind a tractor or a bin lorry or in a traffic jam, so it is not really an issue and it is something we need to counter.
