The Taoiseach's promising an overhaul of speed checkpoints, following the death of an on-duty Garda.
Micheal Martin says more measures are needed to protect Gardai like Kevin Flatley, who was fatally struck by a motorcycle while working yesterday afternoon.
The motorcyclist, aged in his 30s, remains in serious condition in Beaumont Hospital.
Father of two Kevin Flatley - from Balbriggan in Dublin, is the 90th member of Gardai killed in the line of duty.
The 49-year-old father-of two was struck by a motorcycle while carrying out a speed checkpoint in Dublin yesterday afternoon.
The Taoiseach is calling for society to pause and reflect on driving habits in the wake of Garda Kevin Flatley's death.
Books of condolence have opened in Swords County Hall and Blanchardstown Civic Offices this morning.
Micheal Martin said: ''Society as a whole do have to look at road safety and more generally reflect on what has happened.
Two very serious incidents this week. Another last week. A garda was injured by a car. But generally in terms of road safety all of us a society need to reflect on the fundamentals in terms of keeping people safe on the roads.''
