‘Stone throwing in Carnagat and Derrybeg will injure or kill’ – Murney
éirígí’s Newry representative Stephen Murney has called for youths throwing stones at cars in the Carnagat and Derrybeg area to stop before someone is seriously injured or killed.
Stephen was speaking after a number of vehicles were damaged recently on the busy Camlough Road.
Speaking to Newry Times, Stephen said, “A number of cars were hit with stones on the Camlough Road on Wednesday evening, resulting in damage to the vehicles.
“From speaking to the motorists involved it’s clear that this could have easily led to an accident and injuries. Young children were travelling in at least one of the cars and it could have had tragic consequences. We are also aware this is an ongoing problem and that young people are engaging in this type of behaviour on a regular basis.”
“Over the past few months our party has been striving to secure much needed road safety upgrades on the Camlough Road which we are pleased to say has been successful, although these youths are making this dangerous stretch of road lethal to say the least.
