Meanwhile, Kerry County Council officials say proposals will be rolled out within two weeks to address the crossroads in Abbeydorney.

Locals have called for traffic lights to be installed in the centre of the village following a third car crash in six weeks.

At yesterday’s meeting of Listowel Municipal District the council said interim safety improvement works, including line markings and hedge trimming, are planned over the coming weeks.
