€100,000 collision prevention project

A COLLISION prevention programme is to be carried out in Kerry this year to help reduce the high level of road deaths in the county.

Last year, there were 19 road fatalities in the county and a number of safety campaigns have been introduced in recent years.

Kerry County Council’s director of roads, Charlie O’Sullivan, said road deaths were a cause for concern, even though the road network had improved significantly in the past 10 years.
