LISTEN: Anger in Rooskey over one-way traffic system

The chairman of a local GAA club says the new traffic system in Rooskey is “an accident waiting to happen”.

The village’s historic bridge normally has no specific area for walkers to cross the Shannon.

Local councils are trialling a new system, with a pedestrian walkway.

It has a one-way system for drivers on the bridge, with new traffic lights – but the system has been widely criticised by locals.

They include the chairman of Kilglass Gaels, Niall Kilcrann, who has been speaking to our reporter, Eoghan Murphy.
