Danny Healy-Rae claims fairy curse behind dips in major Irish road

Bad luck caused by disturbed fairy forts is causing dips in a major road between County Kerry and County Cork, an Irish member of parliament has said.

Danny Healy-Rae told the Irish Times that issues with the N22 were caused by "numerous fairy forts in the area".
The road had previously been repaired but problems had reappeared.

Mr Healy-Rae said he shared local belief that "there was something in these places you shouldn't touch".
He added that the road passed through an area that was rich in fairy folklore and magic.

The N22 is the main road between Killarney in County Kerry and Cork.

It couldn't be the road sinking in a bog.

Not in Ireland. No way.

I used to believe in Irish fairies when I was very small. The Irish are very convincing liars. It's the national sport. After Hurling and Gaelic Football.

My uncle used to tell me that, if you could put a grain of salt on a wagtail's tail, it would become completely tame, and sit on your hand and let you stroke it.

They had to tell me the truth in the end. They were running out of salt. I was chasing the wagtails and throwing great handfuls of the stuff.
