Deaths on Irish roads continues to rise
The number of people dying on the nation's roads is on the rise with the numbers killed on Cork roads nearly double that of last year's figures.
22 people were killed in Cork city and county last year compared to 12 in the same period in 2015.
Nationally there was a 15% increase in the number of fatalities on the roads last year to 187 - with almost one in five a pedestrian.
The Road Safety Authority is reminding the public of vulnerable road users, after two cousins died on the N2 in Co. Louth yesterday evening.
79 year old Josie Duff and 70 year old Kathy McDonald were getting off a bus when they were struck by a car.
