Cork County Council is to ask Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) to introduce greater safety measures to cut down on the number of deaths caused by people driving the wrong way on motorways.

There have been several such fatal accidents in recent years, especially along the Cork-Dublin motorway (M8) in North Cork.
