That's according to Taoiseach Leo Varadkar.
The Taoiseach says there will be an extra focus on enforcement to combat the 'shocking' rise in the number of road fatalities on the roads this year.
Leo Varadkar says he is very concerned about the number of deaths and has discussed the matter with the Garda Commissioner.
101 road users have lost their lives so far in 2023, compared to 89 up to this day last year.
10 of those are in the midlands - 6 in Westmeath, 3 in Offaly and one in Laois.
Leo Varadkar says the current figure is not acceptable:
