Meanwhile, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has said road safety needs to come back to the top of the political agenda as it seeks a meeting with the Transport Minister and Garda Commissioner to discuss how the rising trend of road deaths can be reversed.
RSA chairperson Liz O'Donnell was speaking as a three-year-old boy and his grandparents were confirmed to have been killed in a crash in Cashel, Co Tipperary, on Tuesday night. The boy's parents also sustained serious injuries in the incident.
Ms O'Donnell said before the onset of the covid-19 pandemic, the country "had been making progress" in bringing down the numbers of deaths on the roads.
This year however, she said the country had seen “escalating road fatalities”, with 123 road fatalities to date — an increase of 25 on the same period in 2022.
