It's understood a number of local residents feel issues around the camber on the road must be resolved. Senator Murphy says urgent action is needed to improve safety.

''I'm pleading through the local media for to try to deal with this once and for all, before we have a casualty there because virtually every week now I have somebody on the phone to me, sometimes twice a week. I would appeal once again that now before Christmas that the TII would at least put another set of lights on the Strokestown side.''
