Gardaí and the Road Safety Authority (RSA) are appealing to motorists to look out for motorcyclists at all times, not just over the May bank holiday weekend.

So far in 2022, 11 motorcyclists have been killed on Irish roads, five of these lost their lives in March, a figure which the RSA describes as "worryingly high".
