Road deaths not just an inevitable part of daily life, says McDaid

Junior Transport Minister Jim McDaid said yesterday this approach was contained in a draft new Government strategy for the period 2004-2006, due to be published shortly.

The three-year strategy is seeking to reduce the number of people being killed in road accidents every year to 300 or less, Mr McDaid told the first road safety conference of the Institute of Road Safety Officers (IRSO), in Dublin yesterday.
