Bereaved mum to lead four-day Dáil protest over housing estate speed limit

A mother whose son died after being knocked down by a car near his home will lead a four-day Dáil protest next month to emphasise the need for mandatory 30km/h speed limits in housing estates.

Roseanne Brennan’s six year old son, Jake, was playing outside his house in Lintown Grove, Kilkenny, last June when he was hit by a car.

Determined that her son’s name and spirit would live on, Ms Brennan founded Jake’s Legacy and began a campaign to have residential safety issues addressed.
