DRIVERS hit a wall on a dangerous bend in Laois three times over Christmas, prompting appeals to motorists to slow down.
Chevrons had to be installed at the sharp bend in Dainganroe, Castletown yesterday morning, after the stone wall was struck by vehicles in three separate incidents.
Road safety signs were installed on the bend near the hurling field on 8 January, after concerned residents contacted a local councillor.
Posting a photo from the scene (above) on social media, Cllr James Kelly said: ‘This morning, road safety signs are being installed on the dangerous bend at Dainganroe, Castletown by Laois County Council.
‘Following three impacts on the wall during the Christmas period, residents contacted me and I commend the prompt response from council employees.’
The Independent councillor from Mountrath appealed: ‘Please slow down on this very dangerous bend.’
There are no reports of injuries as a result of the series of crashes.
