Fines for the most dangerous driving offences doubled in Republic of Ireland after four deaths on roads in 24-hour period
It follows the deaths of four people in three separate incidents on Irish roads during a 24-hour period from Sunday to Monday.
The number of road fatalities has risen in the Republic this year compared to the same time last year, with 94 deaths and 673 serious injuries to date in 2022 – a 42% increase in deaths. "We need to act now to stem this increase. We are approaching August, which is typically a very busy time of the year on our roads and as such a high-risk period.
Ms Naughton told RTE's Morning Ireland that the regulations on the doubling of fines are being worked on at the moment and will come into effect in the next number of weeks.
