Motorists driving through Kildare school crossing as kids use it

Motorists are driving through a pedestrian crossing while children are on the road.

That’s according to a local councillor who wants Kildare County Council to improve the route.

Cllr Bill Clear says KCC should upgrade the crossing from the GAA club in Sallins to the pedestrian bridge in the town -  to a zebra crossing.
