A local pothole campaigner has said he’s not stopping his fight for Irish rural roads.
Martin Hannigan from Co Cavan is known as the “Pothole King” for taking a stand by painting around potholes with yellow paint in an attempt to draw attention and have them fixed.
He has been campaigning 38 years now and says he won’t be giving up anytime soon.
Martin confirmed that he painted the word ‘shame’ on a road in the town of Cootehill last month to highlight the dire condition of the road coming from Monaghan but the pothole remains.
The local man says people are continuously contacting him about the road surfaces and potholes across Cavan.
Martin says he still wakes up in the middle of the night to paint around potholes, adding that he will be up at 3am in the morning to draw attention to a number of potholes in the east of the county.
He said he plans to be out early tomorrow morning to mark a number of potholes in the area. The local man says he’s going nowhere, adding that he is highlighting his opinion over the state of the roads.
