Over half of child seats checked by RSA in Kerry were fitted incorrectly

Over half of child car seats checked during an RSA event in Kerry were fitted incorrectly.

That’s according to figures provided by the council’s Road Safety Officer, Declan Keogh at a recent MD meeting.

In February the Road Safety Authority held three check it fits roadshows in the county - in Tralee, Killarney and Ballybunion.

It found that a fifth (20%) of the seats needed major adjustments due to safety critical issues, while 54% of seats were fitted incorrectly.

Mr Keogh advised that the service is due to return to Kerry in October, with locations to be confirmed.
