The number of people killed on the roads decreased by over a quarter during the lockdown compared to the same period last year.

There were 26 fatalities from March 13th to June 7th - 9 fewer than the same time in 2019.

Motorists are being urged to be extra care as the roads get busier, in a new campaign by the Road Safety Authority and the Gardai.

They're also being advised to be mindful of the increased numbers of cyclists and pedestrians out and about.
