"The man and two young girls were making their way to a nearby primary school when they were struck by a car just outside O'Shea, Bramley, Breen veterinary centre on the junction of Distillery Road and The Fairways. Passers-by came to the assistance of the man and his children, who sat into a car while awaiting the arrival of gardaí and ambulance a couple of minutes later. Gardaí took statements from the driver and eye-witnesses at the scene and the man and two children were taken to Wexford General Hospital for further treatment. Their injuries are understood to have been minor and they were only brought to hospital as a precaution."
"The busy junction of Distillery Road and The Fairways has been earmarked for a new layout for quite some time now. Plans to install a roundabout to improve traffic flow have been mooted for years, while almost exactly a year ago, further elements of the plan were put to public consultation, including pedestrian crossings. These works have still to come to fruition, despite a clear appetite locally for the plans to progress. Last November, a woman was knocked from her motorbike at the same junction during lunchtime traffic."

Passers-by assisted and the trio sat in a car while awaiting gardaí and ambulance, which arrived a couple of minutes later. Gardaí took statements from the driver and eye-witnesses and the man and children were taken to Wexford General Hospital. Their injuries were minor and hospital attendance was precautionary. The busy junction has long-standing plans for a new layout including a roundabout and pedestrian crossings, which remain unimplemented despite local support. A woman was knocked from her motorbike at the same junction last November.
