A recent study highlights a concerning trend in a county with one of Ireland's highest road death rates, revealing significant cuts to the Roads Policing Unit (RPU) staffing since 2009. With fewer personnel dedicated to enforcing road safety, critics argue that the increase in fatalities is directly linked to these reductions. Campaigners are urgently calling for reinstating and enhancing recruitment within the RPU to address this troubling situation and improve road safety for all.
The alarming reduction in RPU staffing levels over the past decade directly correlates with a notable rise in road fatalities, highlighting the urgent need for enhanced road policing.
Our analysis shows that the decline in personnel within the RPU in counties with high road death rates puts drivers and pedestrians at greater risk, illustrating a critical gap in road safety measures.
