Pedestrian deaths doubled on Irish roads last year.

That's the grim New Year message from the Road Safety Authority which also reports a 13 percent increase in road deaths overall.

A total of 155 people died in 149 fatal road collisions in 2022 compared to 137 deaths in 2021

Drivers account for 39 percent of the fatalities, and almost 1 in 5 drivers and passengers killed were not wearing a seatbelt.
