One caller argued that any driver involved in a fatal road traffic accident caused by careless driving should automatically face manslaughter charges and go to jail.The comment split the audience. Some listeners agreed, saying Ireland’s penalties for dangerous or careless driving causing death are far too lenient. Others insisted that accidents—while tragic—aren’t always crimes, and that long prison sentences won’t bring loved ones back.Niall asks the tough question:Should a driver responsible for the death of another person in a road traffic accident spend more than 10 years in prison?Is this justice—or is it too extreme?Join the discussion, share your views, and tell us where you stand.WhatsApp: 085 100 22 55
