Students drive home road safety message with beer mats

STUDENTS launching an anti-drink driving campaign today are looking for a sponsor to take their initiative nationwide.

Up to 30,000 beer mats, with the message, ‘What’s driving you’, will be distributed to almost 30 pubs in North Cork over the coming days.

The campaign, devised by the transition-year students of St Mary’s secondary school in Mallow, and backed by the town’s Vintners’ Association and five local taxi companies, is aimed at next weekend’s bank holiday revellers.
