Residents were very concerned about the speed of traffic, which sometimes exceeded 100 kilometres per hour, on the Cashel Road in Clonmel near the Dr Pat O’Callaghan Sports Complex, the home of Clonmel Town FC.
This was stated by Cllr John FitzGerald at a meeting of Clonmel Borough District.
He said that residents were afraid that a serious accident would occur, with the nearby entrance to Melview Nursing home, the entrance to housing estates and the sports complex.
