County Mayo, Ireland.

County Mayo has a wild and rugged North Atlantic coast line along with a barren and mountainous landscape.

The west of Ireland has some fantastic scenery but, like the south-west, its roads are deplorable. To describe some of them as goat-track is an exaggeration and when you consider the type of politicians they continuously elect you’ll understand why.

An elected west-of-Ireland councillor, Michael-Stroke Fahy, was tried and convicted in court with stealing €75,000 from the local authority. Amazingly his local constituents weren’t happy to see this parasite being served justice, rather they were outraged that he was charged at all. And they vented their fury by holding rallies and demonstrations demanding the authorities drop the charges and leave him alone.

Seems they’re happy with goat-tracks instead of roads and don’t feel any shame that their ill-educated youth will be unemployed unless they emigrate to Great Britain.

If you’re holidaying in this part of Ireland remember that their stupidity spills over into their restaurants, public houses and hotels.
