149 people have lost their lives on roads across the country this year, including 8 in Kildare.
Family members who have lost loved ones on the country's roads are coming together in the capital today to raise awareness about a global day of action for road safety.
This Sunday is World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims.
149 people have lost their lives on roads across the country this year, including 8 in Kildare.
Laura Rice spoke of her dad Alan who was killed in a collision with a car that was driving on the wrong side of the road.
''Grief is a lonely journey, as unique and personal as a fingerprint. It sits within you, a constant companion, left in the place of losing someone you love in such a shocking way. My Dad, Alan Rice, was riding his motorcycle home when he was in a collision with a man carelessly driving.
She added: "Each day I am reminded of his absence, shock protects you for only so long, and grief forms this new version of yourself that only those who have experienced such a loss can truly understand. This event is a chance to remember and honour those we loved and miss dearly; our loved ones are the people behind the growing statistics.''
