I'm reading Kevin Barry's short story "Fjord of Killary". He's Irish and I can't understand the context of this sentence:
“You’d make good time coming out of Sligo, normally,” Bill Knott said. “Unless you had a Thursday on your hands. But of course them f**kers have any amount of a road under them since McSharry was minister.”
Does anybody know what the phrase in bold means?

Thanks a lot!
