‘A large pothole damaged my tyre – can I sue the council for not keeping the roads in good repair?’
‘It seems outrageous that the council can neglect road maintenance and not be held accountable’
'Even in circumstances where the council are explicitly informed of the danger or hazard on the roadway, they have no liability for failure to take action to remedy the issue'
Query: Dear Mary Frances, I am a farmer in Co Limerick and recently had an issue while driving my slurry tanker. I hit a large pothole on a local road, which caused a burst tyre.
As you can imagine, these tyres are expensive to replace.
