A Sligo Councillor has called on the government to allocate more of the Road Safety Authority's marketing budget towards prevention of road traffic accidents.

It comes as it was revealed that €44 million was spent on the RSA's advertising since 2021.

111 people have died on Irish roads so far in 2026, with the figure higher than at the same time last year.

Councillor Marie Casserly said that it's time to concentrate on enforcement rather than advertising.
