Students demand action on road safety

THE tragic death of a school friend has led to students in Blarney demanding traffic calming proposals to be put in place.

The students, who collected 2,100 signatures, will shortly be advised by Cork Co Council engineers of proposals for improved road safety measures.

Schoolgirl Clodagh Murphy, 14, died on September 23, three days after she was hit by a car on her way to classes at Scoil Mhuire gan Smal in Blarney, Co Cork.
