We don't need more road safety laws, we need enforcement

Knee jerk responses with zero evidence base such as mandatory hi-vis will not fix our problems, writes Ciarán Cannon

Grace Lynch deserves to have her memory honoured with road safety policies that are evidence-based, proportionate, and proven to save lives.

Ireland does not have a road safety law problem. It has a major enforcement problem, and the consequences are now measured in lives lost.

The tragic death of Grace Lynch in Finglas, struck by a scrambler bike, brought that reality into sharp and painful focus. It should never take the death of a child to force us to confront hard truths, but here we are again — shocked, grieving, and asking how this was allowed to happen.
