He said: "There are serious congestion issues at peak times and also with reckless drivers driving at breakneck speeds through a residential area.

"I will be contacting Galway City Council to ask them to address the traffic problems, look at new measures such as speed bumps, lay-by’s for buses and traffic management plans to ensure maximum safety for children and local residents."
