Call for 50km/h limit at Thompson's Cross

A reduction of the speed limit to 50km/h in the Thompson's Cross area has been suggested as a way of reducing the level of accidents at the crossing, writes Brian Byrne.

The Fianna Fail candidate from the Kilcullen area in the upcoming local elections, Antoinette Buckley, says the issue has been a recurring one and people are worried that a serious accident could occur at any time.

There have been two crashes at the crossing in recent weeks, and many others in the past.

Candidate Buckley's call is supported by South Kildare Fianna Fail TD Fiona O'Loughlin.
