Ireland's Road Death Crisis Demands Action | Belfast News

Ireland’s road death crisis is spiraling, with 100 fatalities already this year—enough to trigger a national emergency demand from Sligo councillor Marie Casserly. She’s urging the government to treat this like any major public health emergency, pushing for proven safety tech like speed and red-light cameras. While e-scooter rules are being tightened—banning them for under-18s and mandating gear—Casserly warns that the real danger lies in cars, not scooters. Hundreds of children are still dying in car crashes, yet the focus remains narrowly on e-scooters. She’s calling for a comprehensive, all-vehicle approach to save lives before it’s too late.
