Students highlight road death carnage

THE stark reality of Ireland’s road carnage was laid bare by college students touched by tragedy yesterday.

In a powerful and graphic gesture, 368 Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) students wearing white T-shirts lay on the ground in a college hall to represent all the victims of road accidents in 2006.

And in a tragic twist, it emerged last night that a brother of 20-year-old student nurse, Siobhán Holland, who was killed in a road accident in Cork yesterday, is a CIT business studies student.
