How many times have you stopped at the North Strand junction with Constitution Hill, wanting to turn right up the hill towards the Chord Road - and prayed!
It is a blind corner and really, you do just hope for the best when pulling out here.
It s the same on the other side, coming up from Mayoralty Street and wanting to turn left or right on to Constitution Hill.
I heard of a recent accident here and that s hardly a surprise.
The STOP signs are pretty pointless. You have to stop anyway, but that does not mean the road is clear to pull off as you can t see around corners!
Family business: My family business is 75 years old this year, it’s fourth generation but growing up I never expected to get involved. I never worked there part-time and instead worked in a pizza restaurant.
I studied politics and business at Trinity and then went travelling with my best friend, Suzanne Tierney. We went to South America and Australia and then I headed to New Zealand.
I managed a couple of music venues there and liked the late shifts, though it was high tempo – I would be too old to work that way now. An hour of clear-up and a social drink with colleagues meant I would head to bed at 2am and sleep in till 10am. During the day I volunteered in a rescue centre before my shift at 5pm.
