Road safety appeal to parents

A SENIOR Garda officer yesterday appealed to parents to play an important role in preventing deaths of young people on the roads.

Chief Superindent Pat Sullivan, Tralee, said parents had a responsibility to know where their children were, who they were with and with whom they were travelling.

“No parent wants to see a garda knocking on their door at three or four o’clock in the morning with sad news that their son or daughter had been killed in a road traffic accident. This is something that no parent could ever forget.”
