West Clare School Bus Driver Calls For Action On "Dangerous Kilrush Road"

A West Clare School bus driver claims it's only a matter of time before a child is seriously injured or worse due to a lack of traffic calming measures on a busy Kilrush Road. Concerns have been raised over a high volume of speeding motorists on the R483 which serves Kilrush Community School, Regina House, Moneypoint Football Club, the Kilrush FET building and a number of residential areas. Local resident Mick Thorpe who also lives across from the school claims he’s consistently unable to park in the designated school bus bay when on duty, and that his personal vehicle was recently damaged by a passing car. Mick says the situation needs to be urgently addressed.
