Castlebar residents annoyed with boy-racers

RESIDENTS of Castlebar are angry over the late-night racket generated by boy-racers in the town.

The noise from the 'souped-up' vehicles started at around 11 p.m. last night and continued until 4.30 a.m., keeping many people awake in their beds.

The activity was focused mainly on the N5 and Pontoon roads and residents could not understand why a stop was not put to it by An Garda Siochana.

The tyre marks were clearly evident on the road surfaces this morning.

One person who contacted The Connaught Telegraph today said: “Isn't it time something was done about this? It certainly is not tolerated in other parts of the country.â€
