There have been 165 deaths on Irish roads this year – bringing the death toll above the total last year of 155.Garda Commissioner Drew Harris told the Oireachtas Justice Committee he wants to see more static and average speed cameras on the road.
"It's not for the individual driver to decide, 'This is a clear stretch of road, there's not many accidents here, therefore the speed limit is only advisory'."Very often they are a result of excess speed," he added. Meanwhile, Deputy Commissioner Anne Marie McMahon told the committee the increase in deaths is not linked to the reduction of Roads Policing Units.
