Abstract
A total of 411 persons were killed in 360 fatal accidents on Irish roads in 2001. This represents a decline of 4, or 1% of total, on the 2000 situation. This decline was due to a reduction in the number of fatalities among car users, which fell by 30 to 230. In 2001, car user fatalities comprised 56% of total, as opposed to 44% in 1995. The number of fatalities in 2001 increased amongst all other road user types (i.e. pedestrians, pedal cyclists, motor cyclists and ‘other road users’) compared with the situation in 2000.
