Galway Bay fm newsroom - A Galway TD is backing a new road safety campaign aimed at protecting cyclists.
TD's Ciaran Cannon, Regina Doherty and Robert Tory are hoping to introduce a new law to ensure drivers keep a minimum safe distance from cyclists when overtaking.
15 cyclists died on our roads in 2017, that's 5 more than in 2016 and 6 more than in 2015.
The Transport Minister Shane Ross has said he has fears whether or not such regulations would be enforceable.
