Call to review speed limits after 19 road fatalities

FOLLOWING a year in which 19 people died in road accidents in Co Kerry, there was a call yesterday for a review of speed limits in the county.

Some of the existing speed limits were “not appropriate” to the roads they governed, claimed Fine Gael councillor John Sheahan.

He called for the lowering of limits on some dangerous road stretches, including some on the mountain route between Killarney and Kenmare.
