First on Scene, Last to Heal: Emergency Workers and Fatal Collisions goes behind the scenes with the men and women of An Garda Síochána, the National Ambulance Service and the fire service as they share stories about fatal collisions on Ireland's roads, and how that impacts their way of thinking. Produced and presented by Alex Rowley, a young journalism student from Wicklow and IMRO-nominated broadcaster, it's inspired by the contrasting ways different members of the emergency services deal with their trauma. Some choose to open up to friends, while for others, it's as if nothing bothers them.Due to a spike in road deaths in recent years, the topic has been high up in the news agenda, and rightly so, but every bank holiday we hear appeals from high-ranking Gardaí, Government Ministers and the RSA. Rarely, do we hear from those who actually deal with these collisions and see the devastation firsthand.In the documentary, Paramedics Clodagh Murphy and Paul Malone, based in Waterford, tell us about the trends they see in responding to collisions and why they're always keeping their own family members in the back of their mind. The documentary also goes on patrol with Gardaí Leanne McCarthy and Ken Driscoll of the Roads Policing Unit in Abbeyfeale, Co. Limerick. Ken bravely opens up about how it feels to break the news of a death to a family, comparing it to handing someone an “explosive device”.We also speak with Sub-Officer Stephen Connolly from Monasterevin Fire Brigade in Co. Kildare, who speaks of the challenges faced by on-call emergency workers, who service their local community first and foremost. All emergency workers in the documentary have pleaded with people to put down their mobile phones, put on their seatbelts, follow speed limits, and not take drugs or alcohol when using the roads this Bank Holiday Weekend.Analysis from Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Malie Coyne, contextualises the issue, and further hammers home the importance of looking out for our frontline workers.

It comes as new Road Safety Authority data has revealed 9% of motorists were observed using a mobile device last year which was up 6% on on 2022. Drivers of light goods vehicles had the highest mobile device usage rate at 13% while rates for drivers of other vehicle types ranged between 6% and 8%. Roads Policing Superintendent of the Clare-Tipperary Garda Division Eddie Golden says while drivers taking calls has historically been a problem, it's now common to see people checking social media while driving.

Clare Gardaí are imploring motorists to take weather and road conditions into account when embarking on their Easter Bank Holiday Weekend journeys. 55 people have lost their lives on Irish roads so far this year which is 13 more than on this date last year. A survey carried out by the Road Safety Authority shows 45% of motorists travelling on 50km/h roads in 2023 were driving in excess of the speed limit. With consistent rain expected throughout the weekend, Head of the Roads Policing Unit in the Clare-Tipperary Garda Division, Superintendent Eddie Golden has been telling Clare FM's Sean Lyons that particularly in inclement weather, drivers mustn't view speed limits as targets.

The Mayor of Clare is hopeful people from the Banner county celebrating St. Patrick's Day in all corners of the world have a safe and enjoyable weekend. Plans are in motion for parades throughout the county, with Ennis's procession starting at 11am on Sunday, while Shannon's will start at the later time of 1pm and Kilrush's parade will kick-off two hours later at 3pm. Across the Atlantic, Mayor Joe Cooney and a Clare County Council delegation are spending the weekend in New York where they'll meet the city's mayor and attend it's world-famous parade. Bodyke Fine Gael Councillor Cooney is hopeful people can enjoy themselves while also staying safe throughout the festivities.

Clare Gardaí are urging motorists to "arrive alive" this bank holiday weekend. An extensive Garda Roads Policing Operation is underway until 7am on Tuesday, in an effort to cut down in the number of fatal or serious injury collisions on the roads over the St Brigid's Bank Holiday Weekend. 18 people have lost their lives on the roads so far this year and Gardaí are focusing on the offences of intoxicated driving, speeding, use of mobile phones and seatbelt offences this weekend as a means of preventing road deaths. Clare-Tipperary Garda Division Roads Policing Inspector Mark Allen says for both motorists and pedestrians, being aware of road safety at all times can be the difference between arriving alive and a tragedy occurring.

Clare Gardaí are urging motorists to play their part in preventing deaths on our roads this Bank Holiday weekend. An extensive Garda Roads Policing Operation is underway, with data showing the risk of a fatal or serious injury road traffic collisions is highest between 12 noon and 3pm on the Friday of the St Brigid's Bank Holiday Weekend. On this weekend last year, one fatal crash and 16 serious injury collisions were recoreded, while 167 drivers were arrested on suspicion of drink or drug driving. Inspector in the Clare-Tipperary Garda Division Roads Policing Unit, Mark Allen has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons that while Gardaí will be actively patrolling the roads over the next few days, it's also up to drivers and pedestrians to be responsible for their actions.

18 People have lost their Lives on our roads this year. Sarah O'Connor, Director of Partnerships and External Affairs RSA spoke to Newstalk Breakfast ahead of a busy bank holiday weekend on the roads.

Clare Gardaí are reminding the public to allow allow plenty of time, plan their journeys and be rested as they take to the roads this bank holiday weekend. A total of 155 people have lost their lives on Irish roads this year which is already higher than the total for 2022. Of these, 38 or one in four were pedestrians and this trend indicates that pedestrian fatality figures for 2023 will be their highest in 15 years. Roads Policing Superintendent of the Clare/Tipperary Garda Division Paul Slattery has been telling Clare FM's Sean Lyons that Gardaí will be out in force across the county this weekend in an effort to deter dangerous driving and save lives.

The number of pedestrians killed on Irish roads this year is on course to be the highest level in 15 years, if the current trend continues. Speaking to Shane this morning was Minister of State with Special Responsibilities for Road Safety, Jack Chambers to shed light on the situation.
