AN urgent call was made yesterday for safety measures on a dangerous stretch of roadway in Kerry.

Nine people have died as a result of traffic accidents on the road between Lispole and An Daingean in the past 20 years, the latest being postman Con Brosnan, 56.

He was driving onto the road from a private house on March 7, when his van was in collision with a milk lorry. Mr Brosnan died subsequently at Kerry General Hospital, Tralee.
