Calls are being made for an emergency response unit to be established for the M7 and N7 following a spate of serious crashes.

Kildare South TD Mark Wall has made the call in response to a series of traffic incidents along the routes which has left many commuters facing up to three hours stuck in rush hour traffic daily.
