Posted by Alan Kelly on March 16, 2012 at 02:07 PM

I was delighted to attend the recent  Road Safety Authority’s Annual ‘Seatbelt Sheriff’ and ‘Hi Glo Silver’ Awards  in Dublin Castle. These awards recognise the outstanding contribution these children have made to keeping Ireland’s roads safe  231 schoolchildren from ten primary schools around the country were rewarded  for their efforts to improve road safety. This awards ceremony is one of the most important events in the road safety calendar as it recognises the commitment of young people to making our roads safer. Through their creativity and hard work, they have shown just what can be achieved when we all make road safety a vital part of our behaviour. For that, I thank the children and their teachers for their support and encourage them to keep up this life-saving behaviour.
