School children risk death daily just on the walk to catch a school bus, according to residents living in a once quiet rural area on the new Cork City boundary.

Members of the Moneygourney Residents Association near Douglas pleaded for urgent road safety measures before a pedestrian is killed saying aggressive driving and speeding by commuter traffic through their area is putting lives at risk.
