Monaghan County Council says stretch of N54 where Dlava Mohamed (16) and Kiea McCann (17) killed is ‘legacy road’
There have also been a number of other fatal crashes on the same stretch of road, at or near Legnakelly just outside Clones, though not at the same location as the most recent collision.In reply to queries about road safety at the location, Monaghan County Council said the N54 between Clones and Monaghan was “a legacy road and is not designed in accordance with any current design standard”.
“Currently, the TII [Transport Infrastructure Ireland] have not identified this location as an area of concern, therefore, it has not been earmarked for road improvement investment.” TII describes legacy roads as those that “may have evolved from historic routes that are often constrained by physical or environmental conditions”.
