Gay brings toddlers up to speed

LEGENDARY broadcaster Gay Byrne reached out to a new audience yesterday as he brought his road safety message to a creche full of toddlers.

The former Late Late Show presenter visited the Le Cheile creche on Cork Street in Dublin City to launch the Road Safety Authority’s (RSA) new initiative for children, “Simon and Friends”.

Taking the view that you are never too young to learn the lessons of road safety, the RSA chairman along with RSA chief executive Noel Brett launched the new programme that is aimed at children aged five and under and that will be available to interested pre-schools free of charge in the coming months.
