Road deaths down by 11, but gardaí say 'totally selfish' drink-driving still a problem

"Drink- or drug-driving is totally unacceptable, totally selfish…It costs lives on our roads, there is no other way to put it."

A total of 76 people have died on the country's roads so far this year, 11 fewer than in the same period last year.

Gardaí and the Road Safety Authority have launched their summer enforcement campaign and are appealing to all road users to take care on the roads over the summer months.
