In the North West, Donegal has the highest number of road deaths this year at 6, compared to 10 deaths for all of 2023.
In Sligo the figure is three, while there were four road deaths in the county last year.
There’s been one road death in Leitrim so far in 2024, compared with four such deaths last year.
Just one county, Laois, has avoided a road traffic death since the end of December, with several counties exceeding their death tolls for all of last year in just the first six months of this year.
In Mayo, there has been 13 road deaths this year – one more than all of last year.
