The Butts in Kilkenny
Local councillors once again raised their concerns over HGV traffic passing through the Butts area of Kilkenny City in a meeting over recent weeks.
"There is a serious safety issue up there. People are turning right at the Tullaroan Road and using it as a rat run," Cllr Eugene McGuinness said.
"Families are going out to stop traffic. That in itself is going to cause a problem and we need to do something as quickly as possible.

It’s understood a right turn prohibition will be introduced imminently.
