The Taoiseach is to hold a meeting on Monday with the Road Safety Authority (RSA) to discuss a worrying upward trend in traffic fatalities.
The meeting will discuss the spike in deaths and serious injury on Irish roads, and what measures could be examined to address the reversal of progress made in recent years on fatalities.
A spokesperson said Harris was eager to meet the RSA ahead of chairing a meeting of the Government's road safety ministerial committee in the coming weeks.
