Over 140 people have died on Irish roads so far this year.
Slow down, put your phone away, and never drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
That's the advice to drivers this weekend, as a major road safety operation is in place across the country.
Gardaí have set up check-points nationwide to encourage good driver behaviour, after 143 people were killed on the roads already in 2024.
6 people have been killed on roads in the midlands so far this year with 3 deaths in Westmeath, 3 in Offaly and Laois being the only county in the Republic without a road death.
Founder of the Irish Road Victims Association, Donna Price, is encouraging families to speak about road safety this weekend:
