Cork village residents 'very concerned' as motorists clocked doing 130km/h in 50km/h zone

Motorists are using Killeagh in East Cork as a 'rat run' to avoid Celtic Interconnector works on the N25 and putting lives at risk by driving at speed through the village, councillors told 

'I've seen near misses with children. There are cars doing 130km/h in a 50km/h zone. We can see this from the speed activation signs in the village,' a Killeagh resident said. File picture: Denis Minihane

Motorists are regularly clocking up to 130km/h as they drive past a busy creche in an East Cork village where the speed limit is 50km/h.

The claim has been made by members of a community council, who have reported the speeding incidents to gardaí, and who are fearful a child is going to be seriously injured or worse.
