There are calls for speeding to be addressed on a Tralee road, which has been described as an accident waiting to happen.

She says this issue is posing a danger for pedestrians and all road users, and stated it was an accident waiting to happen.

Cllr O’Sullivan told the meeting that the first time the speed limit was obeyed on this road was during the snowfall earlier this month.

In response to her motion, Kerry County Council stated following previous representations on the issue, Tralee MD highlighted these concerns to An Garda Síochána.
