Pedestrian safety works are due to start within weeks in a town centre on the main Cork to Limerick road where several elderly pedestrians have been killed.

The works on Charleville’s main street, due to start in February, will see the existing five pedestrian crossings refurbished and upgraded to 'table-top' pedestrian crossings. Each crossing will have improved visibility for pedestrians and motorists.
