Road safety ahead of crime as top concern for Irish people

Road safety tops the list of concerns of people in a new survey, ahead of crime, anti-social behaviour, and litter.

The survey, conducted by the Research Centre for the Irish Business Against Litter group, also shows while many people believe the country is cleaner now than it was a decade ago, those in rural areas who are more positive about the upgrade in cleanliness.

Almost one third of the 347 people surveyed said road safety was their number one concern.
