The National Safety Council has been criticised by a cycling lobby group for its alleged failure to tackle road deaths.
The Dublin Cycling Campaign claims that road deaths are on the rise because of a lack of law enforcement.
It says that statistics show a motorist can only expect a ticket every 28 years and to be breathalised every 140 years.
The campaign says the motoring lobby is over-represented on the NSC board, and that it should be dismissed and reformed with representation from pedestrians, cyclists and public transport users.
