To seek motorway sign

The National Roads Authority is to be asked if a sign for Kilcullen can be erected on the M7 motorway adequately in advance of the M9 Kilcullen Bypass junction.

The matter was raised at a recent meeting of Kilcullen Community Action by Marion Dunne, who noted that the only indicator for Kilcullen was on the junction itself, too late for motorists who didn't know the way.

She said she had aften seen motorists reversing back along the hard shoulder after they had overshot the turn.

The meeting heard that earlier attempts to have a Kilcullen sign erected had met with negative responses for a number of cited reasons, including that the town was 'too small' to merit a sign of its own.

Following discussion of the matter, JJ Warren agreed to investigate if the situation could be fixed.
