Episode Details

It's hoped long sought after funding to upgrade a notorious section of a West Clare road will finally be secured. It's after residents of Darragh met with Road Safety Minister Seán Canney to raise concerns over the conditions, speed limit and lack of signage on a section of the N68. Over 1,100 locals have signed a petition calling for upgrades on the route between the L41071 and Darragh's North Cross which has seen four fatal incidents since 2007. Clare Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe who organised the meeting says intervention is urgently needed.
