Sir, – Further to “Number of Garda roads officers fell as deaths rose in 2023″ (News, January 2nd), as a daily driver on the roads, I see few drivers adhering to speed limits so reducing them will have little effect. The main deterrent to speeding is more speed vans and gardaí. It’s time for a major increase in the Garda traffic corps and a redefining of its critical role. – Yours, etc,
