In the first 33 days of 2023, Ireland has seen 15 road deaths, an improvement from last year but still concerning. Gardaí have initiated a safety crackdown for the St Brigid's Bank Holiday; however, over 580 drivers were caught speeding within the first two days, hinting at significant safety challenges. Fatalities include a mix of drivers, pedestrians, passengers, and motorcyclists, with the latest incident being a single-vehicle crash in west Cork. Despite these safety measures, Garda personnel for road policing has declined significantly over the years, undermining their efforts.
In excess of 580 drivers were detected speeding in just the first 48 hours of the St Brigid's Bank Holiday safety crackdown, raising serious concerns for traffic safety.
Despite efforts, the fatalities on Irish roads remain troublingly higher than record lows achieved three years ago, indicating a persistent issue with road safety.
