Speed limit to be reduced at 'shocking' Kilkenny road junction
Unsafe conditions at a major Kilkenny junction have been brought to the attention of a government minister, who was brought to see the area for himself.
Cllr Deirdre Cullen said that Minister of State at the Department of Transport Seán Canney was in Kilkenny over the summer and she met him at Danesfort to show him the junction.
She also showed him the stretch of road at Kilkenny Rugby Club where the public lighting is still not working.
She provided the minister with information and statistics relevant to the area but has not yet heard anything back from him.
Cllr Cullen reiterated her comments from before the summer, saying she does not accept TII saying ‘everything is OK’ with the Danesfort junction.
“It’s shocking what’s happening at both of those junctions” at Danesfort, she added.
Cllr Joe Lyons seconded the sentiments.
Cllr Joe Sheridan asked if the speed limit on the N10 at Danesfort will be brought down under new legislation and was told it will be reduced to 80kph.
