  Last year, 185 people were killed on our roads in Ireland. Just shy of 70% of these were motorists or their passengers. In 2024, there were 77 recorded homicides. Half of these were victims of dangerous drivers. We should all take from this fiasco to turn the focus onto who is doing the killing.

    Department of Transport u-turns on mandatory helmets and high-vis for cyclists

    Row breaks out between Cork TD Ken O'Flynn and city councillors over controversial cycle lane
