Another dangerous weekend on Irish roads as one dead and several injured in multiple accidents

Earlier this month, CEO of the Road Safety Authority Sam Waide, commented on these figures saying: “This is the worst year we’ve had in six years. We’re going backwards.” 

It has already been another dangerous weekend on Ireland's roads, with one life lost and several injuries reported in three accidents.

Today's incidents come in the wake of several weeks in which multiple lives have been lost and road safety officials have warned the country is "going backwards" in terms of road safety.
