Call for local authorities to act as four die on roads

ROAD accidents have claimed four more lives so far this bank holiday weekend.

The latest spate of deaths has prompted Fine Gael to call for local authorities to survey the conditions of all roads once a year to help identify stretches that might pose a risk to motorists.

The most recent fatality happened at 5.30am yesterday, when a car driven by a man in his ’30s hit a tree at Glenvar Park in Blackrock, Co Dublin.
