So having just heard about a roundabout in Longford called Fiddlemaster Tom Blind Kiernan Roundabout I'm curious to know if there are many other traffic calming measures with similar titles? Or even the history behind them. |

That's some name for a roundabout. I didn't actually know they had names bar ones people gave them. There's a certain one in Belfast I've called it many a name as I try and negotiate it's ridiculous amount of lanes and exits  |

"The bundle of sticks roundabout used to make me smile.
Is that letterkenny
No, Naas "
I was actually thinking of the one in letterkenny because it has a sculpture like a big bundle of sticks in the middle of it |

There's a crossroads in Belfast that was referred to as the Castlereagh roundabout when I started driving (many moons ago) Nearly everyone I know calls that junction a roundabout still, even though most of us never experienced it as a roundabout  |

"Is it still called The parkway roundabout in Belfast
Parkcentre?
It's now called the Balls on the Falls. "
I fitted out all Dunnes Stores in Ireland so that roundabout was our starting point for directions to all the shops in Belfast in the 90's |

There's an underpass under the roundabout with a large impressive erection on top that gives it the new nickname. |
