Kildare County Council said they have done all they can at local level.

Traffic calming measures at Taghadoe Cross junction will have to be raised with the Capital Roads team.

Kildare County Council said they have done all they can at local level, according to Fianna Fail Cllr Donna Phelan.

It follows multiple concerns being raised by locals, with both Social Democrats Cllr Peter Melrose and Labour Cllr Angela Feeney raising the issue.

Residents are concerned about the volume of traffic in the area, with some waiting more than 20 minutes in their car to turn left or right towards Maynooth or Clane.

An area engineer from the council is now expected to raise the issue with the Capital Roads team.
