Nine new static speed cameras are to be installed at road accident black spots as part of the Government’s attempts to reverse the increase in fatalities so far this year. 

Up to Wednesday morning, 69 people had been killed on Irish roads in 2024 — up by 16 on the same period last year. Last year was the worst for road deaths in more than a decade as 184 people lost their lives.
