Proper resourcing of Cavan-Monaghan Garda Roads Policing Unit is needed to keep our local roads safe.
That's according to local TD Deputy Pauline Tully, who says a failure to properly resource Garda roads-policing units will see the number of collisions, fatalities, life-changing injuries will continue to increase.
The local TD says his government is discussing introducing new road safety legislation, and she accepts that improved legislation may be needed. The Sinn Féin TD added that we need to get real if we want to be serious about road safety.
The biggest impediment to reducing the number of deaths on our roads is the failure to adequately resource roads-policing units according to the Cavan Monaghan TD. Deputy Tully says without properly resourced road policing units the high number of collisions will continue.
“The government is discussing introducing new road safety legislation, and I of course accept that improved legislation may be needed. “But we need to get real here if we want to be serious about road safety. The biggest impediment to reducing the number of deaths on our roads is the failure to adequately resource roads-policing units.
“Unless we adequately resource our roads-policing units to detect people speeding, drink-driving, drug-driving or using their phones while driving, the number of collisions, fatalities, life-changing injuries will continue to increase.
