Working under the #sponsorapothole hashtag Kieran had a moment of clarity after his vehicle hit a "lonely" pothole on the Carrickcruppin Road in Camlough yesterday morning.
As he says in his own words "It busted my tyre and buckled my lovely new alloy in the front left of my caddy pick up"
Rather than TAR-geting his anger at road services Mr Hanna decided that planting a primrose was the way to go "In order to help at least this one lonely pothole I planted a nice wee plant to show people that it’s there . If your passing please water it and keep it healthy. Or better still plant your own plant in a lonely pothole and help the roads service out until Arlene and Michelle etc get this thing sorted out"
The campaign has already seen traction with one commentator saying "we need to get to a flower shop and get a lot of potholes sorted" and another despairingly adding "We could plant hedges in some of ours!"
