The recent carnage on our roads with the untimely deaths of four teenagers in Clonmel is becoming an all too common occurrence. There is a pattern emerging of teenagers going to various events in cars which can result in fatalities. We need to find out why these things occur. There is a conspiracy of silence around fatal accidents in this country, as the funerals go on and on without anyone asking why? We can’t fix it until we know what is broken and prevent these things from ever happening or negate the possibility of them doing so.
