Locals furious as council proposes 11 by-pass routes in iconic film location

- BY JOHN KIERANS

THE picture postcard village that featured in the legendary romantic comedy movie The Quiet Man is at war again.

But this time the bitter row is not between Sean Thornton, played by John Wayne in the classic film, and Will Danaher (Victor McLaughlin) over the dowry of Maureen O'Hara's Mary Kate Danaher.

Rather it is a dispute over 11 different proposals for a new by-pass in the beautiful village of Cong that have been drawn up by Mayo County Council.

Officials decided to put in each of the 11 routes they are thinking about as the final road and what lands and properties it will cross in a public consultation map.

Each coloured line on the consultancy map represents a different route.
