Road safety groups declare no confidence in RSA following spate of deaths

There have been 58 deaths to date on Irish roads this year, 16 more than the same time last year.

Nearly 30 road safety advocacy bodies have declared no confidence in the Road Safety Authority (RSA) after a spate of deaths in the first three months of 2024.

The various bodies, including the Dublin and Cork Commuter Coalitions and multiple cycling and pedestrian organisations from across the country, have released a jointly-signed statement declaring themselves as having lost confidence in the RSA, which they say “is no longer fit for purpose”.
