Emergency services personnel have launched their Bank Holiday weekend road safety campaign.
220 locations across the Waterford, Kilkenny and Carlow will have garda checkpoints in the coming days in a bid to remind people to take extra care while driving.
42 people have lost their lives on Irish roads already this year (the latest last night in Co Kildare) – three young people died in a crash in Co Carlow, one young man in Co Kilkenny with another losing his life in Co Limerick.

Divisional Roads Policing Inspector Paul Donohoe spoke to our Brian Redmond on The KCLR Daily with KCLR News’ Edwina Grace at the scene too – hear that here;
