RSA calling leading lights
Now in its fourth year, the awards honour the outstanding efforts of people from local community groups, media, schools and businesses nationwide to improve safety on our roads.
Categories include Road Safety Ambassador of the Year, Young Road Safety Ambassador of the Year, Public Sector and Business, with two categories for media and five sections under education: Pre-school, Primary, Secondary, Third Level and Community.
Awards are also given to the Road Safety Officer of the Year and Approved Driving Instructor of the Year.
A supreme award will be presented to an individual or group for the most innovative and outstanding road safety initiative, leadership and exemplary dedication to the area of road safety.
RSA chief executive Noel Brett said the awards are some of the best means of promoting road safety in local communities throughout Ireland.
“The Leading Lights awards highlight the work of ordinary people in communities throughout the country, who provide awareness of the safe practice of road use,” he said.
Last year’s Road Safety Ambassador Award and supreme award winner, schoolteacher Tommy Duffy, said he would recommend everyone get involved in the competition.
