Drivers warned to pull back from the Brink

Fears that someone will be killed at the dangerous junction at The Brink on the N2 has led to calls for a range of safety measures to be installed.
The Rosnaree Community Alert Group has warned of the dangers of the junction, which serves the local community and a large number of local businesses.
Andrew Dillon, chairman of the Community Alert group, said they have been trying for three years to get the cross upgraded.
'We want proper bus stops on either side of the road. Buses stop here anyway and it can be very dangerous.
“We want proper lighting installed at the junction, as people cross the road there regularly when they get off the buses.'
Mr Dillon explained that the residents were supporting a planning application by the local businesses for three truck stops at the side of the shop at The Brink, as trucks availing of services there have to park on the road, limiting sight lines.
He pointed out that it is a very busy crossroads. 'We have Panda Waste at the cross and the businesses at The Brink. Boyne Waste is just off the main road and the junction also serves Rosnaree school.
'The Dunbia meat plant is also served by that junction.
'We have trucks parked outside the business units on the main road and people coming from the Rosnaree road cannot see the traffic on the main road.
'We just want this junction properly upgraded. All we are trying to do is prevent someone from being killed here,' Mr Dillon said.
Miniser Helen McEntee has recently met with local people and fully backed their campaign.

'The changes proposed by the community group in their submission to Meath County Council will improve road marking's at the junction, prohibit the dangerous parking of vehicles and ensure adequate space for the many trucks who use this major road in and through our County and region' Minister McEntee stated.
'These plans enjoy cross community and local business support, as well as my own full support. I will be raising these proposals with Meath County Council and Transport Infrastructure Ireland, formerly the NRA, as well as Minister Shane Ross,' Minister McEntee concluded.
