Motorist's advised to slow down on the roads
The message comes ahead of the long weekend.
Motorists are being advised to slow down on roads this May Bank holiday weekend.
Gardaí say special operations are in place across the city and county and particular attention will be paid to speed, drink driving, mobile phone usage and seat belts at every check point.
It comes after recent figures revealed that 90 people lost their lives between 2011 and 2015 on the county's roads.
The highest proportion of these fatalities were in the Cork West Division where three people have already lost their lives this year.
Sgt Ian O'Callaghan of the Cork West Garda Division has been telling RedFM News their message this Bank Holiday:
