Deer on our roads: Calls for action to reduce road safety risks

The growing danger posed by deer on our roads is once again in the spotlight, with Kerry TD Michael Healy-Rae calling for a targeted deer cull to reduce the risk of road traffic accidents.

Deputy Healy-Rae believes the deer population needs to be reduced by 70 per cent, arguing that urgent action is required as deer increasingly pose a threat to motorists, particularly on rural roads.

He says a properly managed cull must be considered to help prevent serious collisions, protect lives and make our roads safer for everyone.

Listen to today’s road safety message from Deputy Michael Healy-Rae.

And remember, stay safe and take care on the roads.
