Does someone really need to be killed, first?

While Kildare County Council and the National Roads Authority continue to say, more or less, 'nothing to do with us', there has been yet another potentially fatal accident at Thompson's Cross.

Sabina Reddy, a local resident who has previously expressed her concern on the poorly designed junction, reports this morning that that around 7.30pm last evening a Transit van was travelling from the old Carlow road smashed into an Audi coming from the Athy direction. Both vehicles were apparently written off, but thankfully all persons involved - who included two children - were uninjured.

"It now looks like someone will have to be killed before, if any, action from the Council will take place," Sabina says.
