... that a 3.5-kilometre (2.2 mi) section of the N54 road in the Republic of Ireland cannot be reached without travelling through Northern Ireland first? Source: "There is no road from the Republic directly to Coleman's Ireland ... This stretch of the N54 continues for 3.5 kilometres before the road again crosses into the North" [1]
- ALT1: ... that if a criminal travels to Coleman's Island on the N54 road, they are untouchable and no police can get to them? Source: As above, plus "This is the stretch of road where the criminal is untouchable. Neither the gardaí nor the PSNI can enter this area."

Overall: @Ritchie333: Good article. Though, i'm not seeing where the final part (the fly-tipping part) is mentioned in the source provided. Also, should the route be sourced? Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:24, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Onegreatjoke: The fly-tipping is from the Journal source - "One crossing seemed to have become a trouble-spot for fly-tipping – the piles of rubbish dumped in ditches just a few feet across the border, on the Northern side." - but the cite was wrong (it said "journal" in the wiki text, but pointed to the Irish Mail source, so it would look verifiable when editing, but not when reading. D'oh!) The route was added by Jnestorius here and AFAIK the sources used were the Irish Statute Book references added in that edit. So I believe the information is sourced, just not with inline cites. I've changed it to prose with inline citations instead. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 10:48, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
