Killorglin woman calls for safety measures now on N72

A Killorglin woman is calling for temporary changes to be made to a road outside the town, while locals wait for substantial improvements.

Fiola Foley lives around a kilometre outside the town along the N72 in a 28-house development.

She says there's no hard shoulder on the road, the edge is full of leaves, and the speed limit of 80 km/h is too high.

She posted a video on Twitter highlighting the situation for pedestrians.

Kerry County Council says it's developing plans for improvements on the N72 between Killorglin and Anglont, with a hope to gain statutory consent by 2022.

Ms Foley says local residents are delighted improvements are being planned, however, she says cost effective changes can be made now.
