A group called 'Enough is Enough' has been launched in County Tyrone to protest against delays to upgrading the A5, on which they say 44 people have died since improvement plans were announced
Local resident Roger Lomas said he had lost family members and friends on the A5 and expressed his frustration over the delay in having the road upgraded."I'm confident something will happen, just anything that takes the traffic away from the residential areas here in Tyrone.
"I saw the devastation that it did to my own club, his teammates and particularly to the Rafferty family," Mr McKenna said at the meeting in Garvaghy.When Tyrone GAA held their monthly meeting with local clubs in attendance he said he had seen many people in the crowd that had lost loved ones on the road.
Former Tyrone GAA players Kevin Hughes, whose brother and sister lost their lives in separate road accidents in the county, and Peter Canavan, who grew up in a house situated along the A5, were among those who spoke at Monday evening's event.The Department for Infrastructure said it was "acutely aware of the collision history along the existing road" and that it sympathised with families who have lost loved ones.
