Danger warnings spark speed limits outside schools

FOLLOWING warnings of serious risks to children, speed limits are to be erected outside a number of Kerry primary schools located on dangerous stretches of road.

Kerry County Council said it will provide a 60 kilometre per hour speed limit at Derryquay National School outside Tralee on the main road to Dingle once a pilot scheme has been carried out.

School principal Ed O’Brien, who called for speed restrictions, said the school was in an extremely dangerous location.
