The recent fatal crash in Co Carlow highlights the ongoing vulnerability on Irish roads, reinforcing Taoiseach Micheál Martin's call for increased road safety efforts. Local officials, including councillor John Pender, stress the need for road upgrades, advocating for immediate action to realign dangerous bends. As fatalities rise amidst growing traffic, calls for stricter law enforcement and risk-based resource allocation are echoed, aiming to reduce the tragic death toll. The sentiment is clear: every road user deserves a safe journey, and proactive measures are essential to prevent further loss.
Every single junction and entrance along it is very dangerous. Reducing the number of road deaths has been the aim of successive governments.
We can't lose momentum on road safety. Every road needs to be properly assessed and upgraded to maintain safety for all users.
