GARDAÍ are appealing to road users to slow down this festive period.
This comes as gardaí began their road traffic enforcement operation on Friday, which will continue until Monday, January 6, 2025.
The Christmas period is one of the busiest on Irish roads.
It is also one of the periods during which road users are at the highest risk of being involved in a fatal or serious road traffic collision.
To date, 165 people have lost their lives in road traffic collisions on Irish roads this year.
A garda spokesperson said: “An Garda Síochána is appealing to all those that will be taking to the roads over the Christmas period to slow down, take extra care and to give your driving your full attention.”
