Ownership Row Delays Safety Measures on Ardee Town Centre Street - 11/06/2026

Longstanding concerns about safety on Sean O'Carroll Street in Ardee have once again come under the spotlight, but efforts to address the issue have hit an unexpected obstacle.At this month's meeting of Ardee Municipal District, councillors were told that Louth County Council cannot currently introduce measures such as weight restrictions on the street because parts of it are not actually in the council's ownership.The revelation came as councillors continued to raise concerns about the volume of large vehicles using the route and the potential risks for road users in the town centre. While the council says a process can begin to bring the street under its control, questions remain over how long that could take and what can be done in the meantime.We were joined on The Agenda this morning by Fine Gael Councillor and the new Cathaoirleach of Ardee Municipal District, Rachel Kerley, to tell us more about this.
