Motorcyclist (41) who died in Kilcullen crash is named

A motorcyclist killed following a crash at 1am yesterday morning has been named.

Co Monaghan native Clark Duffy (41) is believed to have been visiting a friend at the time.

The single vehicle crash happened on the R413, Nicholastown Kilcullen Road between Kilcullen village and Mile Mill.

Fine Gael Cllr Ivan Keatley is calling for funding to straighten what he is describing as a dangerous road with many bends.

Although work has been carried out on the route, including last year's signage and four-way junction system, more needs to be done, says Cllr Keatley.

He said: "I definitely think that rumble strips need to be put in. It is a dangerous stretch of road."

The road was closed for a time for Garda Forensic Collision Investigators to carry out their duties and local diversions were in place.
