Overgrown hedgerows ‘causing traffic hazards’ in Kerry

Landowners are obliged to cut back hedges and ditches on their properties, under the 1993 Roads Act, but a minority are failing to do so, according to Kerry Fine Gael councillor Patrick Connor-Scarteen.
He said older people were becoming prisoners in their own homes because of overgrown hedges on approach roads and community transport buses could no longer travel on such roads.
