Summary

Four lives lost this past weekend across Donegal, Cork, Kildare, and Dublin’s race track — pushing this year’s road death toll to 91, eight more than last year. With 2023 already the deadliest since 2014, only Offaly has avoided fatalities so far. Experts warn we’re regressing, calling for a multi-pronged solution: stricter enforcement, tougher laws, safer infrastructure, and better driver education. Accountability and restructuring of the Road Safety Authority are also under debate. Drivers are urged to slow down, stay sober, and watch out for pedestrians and cyclists — because lives are on the line.
