Mum of boy who died after being knocked down pledges to continue speed battle

As she prepares to mark the first anniversary of her son Jake’s death, Roseann Brennan said it is something she will never get over.

And while she constantly has to do battle with her immense grief, Roseann takes comfort from the public’s continuing support.

Jake, 6, died after being knocked down by a car outside his house in Kilkenny last year. His mum launched a campaign for the speed limit in housing estates to be reduced from 50km/h to 20km/h and for mandatory speed bumps to be introduced following his death.
