A community which warned just two weeks ago of more road deaths in their area has vowed to ramp up their campaign for road safety upgrades following the death of a young motorcyclist.

Joan Lewis, chairperson of the Kilcully and Ballincrokig Residents Association, said the entire community is devastated following Tuesday’s fatal road traffic collision near White's Cross, just north of Cork City — the 10th fatality on roads in that area in a decade.
