Published: 20 July, 2009

As road deaths in the Ireand have reached 200 already this year Sinn Féin Road Safety Spokesperson, Cathal Boylan has urged road users to ensure that they drive safely in order to prevent further deaths on the roads.

"One death on our road is too many but for the number to have reached 200, with 136 in the in the south and 64 in the North it is an extremely large loss of life."

"The effect of a road death has far reaching consequences for the friends, relatives and loved ones of a victim. I would encourage drivers to keep the need to reduce the number of fatalities on our roads to the forefront of their minds"
