RSA: Road safety needs to come back to the top of political agenda 

The scene of Tuesday night's collision in Tipperary. 

The Road Safety Authority (RSA) has said road safety needs to come back to the top of the political agenda as it seeks a meeting with the Transport Minister and Garda Commissioner to discuss how the rising trend of road deaths can be reversed. 

RSA chairperson Liz O'Donnell was speaking as a three-year-old boy and his grandparents were confirmed to have been killed in a crash in Cashel, Co Tipperary, on Tuesday night. The boy's parents also sustained serious injuries in the incident.
