Mother whose son was killed by drunk driver backs new road safety campaign

A mother, whose son was killed by a drink driver, has backed a new road safety strategy for Cork which aims to reduce annual road deaths in Ireland’s largest county.

Christina Donnelly, whose son Brendan died in Cork in 2009, welcomed the multi-agency strategy which will focus on education, engineering, and Garda enforcement measures.

“We must keep the focus on road safety and prevention. If one person listens, if this saves one life, then something good has come out of our tragedy,” she said.
