'You're as well off getting a helicopter' - 2 Johnnies name Kildare road as worst in Ireland

The 2 Johnnies have named two Kildare roads among the worst in the country, describing one road between Offaly and Kildare as "Disneyland spec" because of how "up and down" it is.

The comedy duo have travelled the country playing gigs for the last decade and two Kildare roads stand out among the worst, the pair announced on their popular podcast. 

They said Carbury in Kildare had the worst roads they'd ever seen when they went to play a gig there a number of years ago.

"We did a gig in Carbury one time. There's no road in Tipperary that bad. You're as well off getting a helicopter into town," Johnny B said.

Johnny Smacks added: "In the early days, we drove to all those kind of areas doing gigs and stuff like that, but I always remember Carbury in Kildare as having the worst roads of all-time."

They also named the Rathangan to Edenderry road among the worst they've seen, with Johnny B saying: "That's good bog road now that's up and down; that's Disneyland spec - like Space Mountain."

Johnny B also reckons the drive from Portarlington to Rhode in between Laois and Offaly is one of the worst.

The podcast comes in the same week as a warning was issued over the Rathangan to Edenderry road after five people sustained damage to their cars.

Edenderry councillor Fergus McDonnell said: "As I drive this road four times daily and being aware of the rapid increase of potholes all the way to Cush Bridge and the dangers posed to all motorists, I notified Offaly County Council last week of the dangerous condition.

"Some potholes were filled as far as the Derries, so again last Tuesday I reported the worsening condition and urgency. I did expect the remaining stretch to be done. I know of five motorists with damaged rims and tyres and I'd be confident there are more." He vowed to contact council management again on Friday.
