She said residents have huge concerns about the junction and “it’s going on for five years.”

She also said the gardaí are concerned.

The councillor also said the National Transport Authority should provide a solution.

“It’s causing huge issues,” she told a Naas Municipal District committee meeting.

Cllr Bill Clear said children going to school cross the road and an upgrade needs to be prioritised.

KCC official Mark McLoughlin said no timeline is available for the work.

The meeting was also told that all junctions along the route are being examined as part of an active travel scheme for Sallins, to promote walking and cycling.

This is being funded  by the NTA.
