I’m sure the RSA must be happy with how much money they managed to funnel to portwest over the years, meanwhile attempting at all times of absolving drivers of all responsibility.
And today again like yesterday, no mention if the driver was arrested or questioned, because we know the answer is likely they aren’t.
But don’t worry, wear your portwest/RSA hi viz 24/7 and drivers may think about possibly following the rules of the road.

4 pedestrians killed in 48 hours. Shocking.

At what point do we need to accept the standard of Irish drivers needs to be improved? No amount of TV adverts or high vis vests will stop this.
Driver standards need to be improved and the penalties for unsafe driving strongly increased.

Tragically sad. Really another aspect of why we need better public transport

Shocking, everyday another death, no road policing at all .

Something needs to be done.
Like hire more guards with a better salary if needed, build prisons and expand templemore college so there’s more guards on the roads enforcing the law and observing bad driving.
But wait, 40% of the country voted FFG who didn’t do any of this over the past 8 years together.
Blame your parents generation. They have fucked everything and this country is fucked.

need a lot more Gardai. not enough on the roads. higher wages required. also guards behind screens for most of the day now is the simple reality

The media still have this ridiculous notion that these cars that are killing all these people seem to do so without any sort of human control.
With the increase in deaths on our roads they need to cop the fuck on and start saying people were killed by a person who happened to be driving a car.

Lot of people giving out in here, and I am not saying that’s right or wrong. However I am familiar with the street this happened on and most things point to this being an an awful accident.
First this isn’t a hit and run, Flower Hill, earns it’s name it’s it’s incredibly steep, and quite slow. It’s a one way with traffic only going up the hill, it’s also notorious for jay walking. There is only one turn off on the hill before it’s ends at a roundabout at the Round O.
If I had to hazard a guess the victim most likely stepped out onto the road giving the driver not time to react, and/or it occured at the pedestrian crossing, which as I said is still notorious for jaywalking and features a bit of a blind turn..
All in all a very tragic accident for all involved

6 people killed on the roads since Monday.
I’m not the only one thinking it, but I’ve seen too many people drunk driving this Christmas and it’s no surprise it’s getting people killed.
If you’re after having a few drinks then go to your car, you’re a piece of shite and deserve to have your licence revoked. You’re an enormous threat to public safety. Call a fucking taxi, ring someone for a lift or walk.

We need an online portal to post videos that police forces use effectively the world over to prosecute drivers.
We all know there’s practically no road traffic enforcement in Ireland, but with the high volume of dash cams amongst the public the fear of your dangerous driving being caught on camera daily would be a particularly good deterrent.
But the RSA and Gardai have no interest in implementing it.

We are one of the only countries in Europe where the death rate on the roads went up last year. And not by a little, either. By over 30%. We are a bunch of children who need a firm hand on the roads.
