Wrong-Way Drivers: Tech and Law in Action | Limerick News

A deadly wrong-way driver crash that killed five and left others seriously injured has sparked urgent action. A high-stakes Friday meeting will tackle early detection tech for motorways, following the Road Safety Authority’s initial silence—now replaced by new public advice after pressure from junior minister Seán Canney. Transport Minister Darragh O’Brien has slammed social media for hosting dangerous driving videos, calling them “disgusting,” while pushing platforms to act. Simultaneously, lawmakers are drafting new laws to punish wrong-way drivers and shield police during pursuits—expected this quarter, with rollout by year’s end. This is a full-court press: tech, law, and accountability, all aimed at stopping these tragedies before they happen.
