The pictures tell their own story. In Monday's  Irish Examiner, we highlighted the human side of the country’s ongoing road death crisis. Some 93 people have died on our roads in the six months up to yesterday, and to see images of many of them put a human context on the carnage.

These were people whose families, friends, relatives, neighbours, and colleagues have been beset with grief because of their loss. So much promise now gone. So many lives taken when they had so much more to give.
