Council engineers presented the statistics to councillors at a meeting of the Kanturk/Mallow Municipal District Council, where they were described as "fairly alarming". The worst offenders were detected at Inchwell Rd in Kanturk where the speed limit is 60km/h. Other speed detectors were installed at the inner relief road in the same town where the speed limit is 50km/h. Speed detectors placed at Ballydahin, Mallow, where the limit is also 50Km/h found 28% of vehicles breaking the limit. However, council engineers said they have limited financial resources to meet the demands for such work and prioritise high-risk areas.
