A campaign to make a hazardous section of road in Donegal safer has led to the installation of new signage on the route between Letterkenny and Drumkeen.

Aontú representative Mary T Sweeney led the effort, organising public meetings and mobilising residents and commuters to highlight safety concerns and push for action.

Sweeney said: "The installation of the long-awaited road signage marks a positive development for both the community living between Letterkenny and Drumkeen and the many commuters who travel this busy route daily.

"The need for enhanced safety measures on secondary roads in Donegal has been highlighted by the numerous accidents and tragic fatalities that have occurred along this stretch in recent years.

"The community has warmly welcomed the new signage, expressing relief that tangible safety measures are finally being put in place. The campaign's success stands as a testament to the power of community action and continued advocacy for safer roads in Donegal. I am determined that further enhancements are made, with calls for additional road widening and further safety initiatives to protect all road users in the area.

"This is just the beginning as there are a number of areas along this road which would benefit greatly from road widening, to make it even safer with the growing number of commuters using this route."
