The barriers where the N62 meets Liberty Square at The Mall are there to stop pedestrians crossing at unsafe places but they are regularly being damaged.
It’s believed that HGVs failing to take the turn properly are to blame.
Transport Infrastructure Ireland pay for the repairs because it’s a national route – not the local authority – but Cllr Sean Ryan there should be some way to recoup the costs from bad drivers.
