Old Dublin-Belfast road opposite Monasterboise Inn another ‘accident waiting to happen’, says Bernie Whelan

Down the laneway between the two spots where those fatalities happened is the McCullough family home. In 1982 Séamus McCullough, then just a 17-month-old child, was killed when he walked out in front of a milkman’s van. “We are absolutely devastated with three tragedies in our family. Our lives will never be the same again,” said Shane’s mother, Bernie Whelan.
The flashing sign on a hazardous stretch of road in Monasterboice, Co Louth, has been out of action for more than a year. Mrs Whelan is now campaigning for several measures which she believes will ensure there are no more deaths on the road.
