155 people have died on Irish roads so far this year.
The Junior Minister for Transport says the government will review the way people learn to drive.
It comes following the 155th road death of the year - the same number for all of 2022.
In the midlands, there have been 15 road fatalities in 2023 - Seven in Westmeath, six in Offaly and two in Laois.
Reviews and changes to speed limits are already underway, along with a promise for more enforcement.
But Minister of State with Responsibility for Road Safety, Jack Chambers, says a look at driver training is needed too:
