Urgent Call for Action as Speeding Threatens Gortahork Children

URGENT UPDATE: Serious concerns are escalating over reckless speeding in Gortahork, particularly near the local primary school, prompting immediate calls for action. Local officials and residents fear that without intervention, a tragic accident is imminent.

Councillor Micheal Choilm MacGiolla Easbuig has voiced his alarm regarding the alarming rate at which motorists are navigating through the village. He is urgently appealing to drivers to exercise caution, especially in areas frequented by young children.

In a statement earlier today, MacGiolla Easbuig emphasized, “We cannot afford to wait until someone is seriously injured before taking action. The safety of our children must come first.” His call to action is directed not only at local drivers but also at Donegal County Council, urging them to implement necessary traffic calming measures immediately.

The situation has become increasingly dire as parents express their fears about children’s safety during school hours. With many families relying on the school, the urgency to enhance safety measures cannot be overstated. Residents report that speeding vehicles are a frequent sight, especially during peak drop-off and pick-up times.

Local authorities are now under pressure to respond swiftly. Plans for potential speed bumps, additional signage, and stricter enforcement of speed limits are being discussed, but no formal measures have yet been put in place.

As this situation develops, the community remains on high alert. Parents and guardians are encouraged to remain vigilant and report any dangerous driving they observe. The safety of Gortahork’s children hangs in the balance, and residents are calling for immediate action to prevent any potential tragedy.

Community members are urged to share this message widely to raise awareness and push for swift changes. Together, they can ensure a safer environment for the future.
