Remembrance day for 38,000 killed on Irish roads takes place this Sunday

Over 38,000 people killed on roads on the island of Ireland will be remembered this Sunday, in a planned World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims.

People from both north and south will come together to remember all lives lost on the island’s roads.

Transport Minister Paschal Donohoe said many lives had been saved, and injuries prevented, as a result of the collaborative work by road safety agencies on both sides of the border in recent years.
