Hi-vis vests distributed to schoolchildren to help prevent road deaths
Some 85,500 high visibility vests are being given to every child starting school this year to try and reduce the 36 child deaths on the roads from 2010-14.
The Road Safety Authority (RSA) said three children under 14 have been killed in road accidents this year, a significant fall on previous years – but more needs to be done to protect youngsters.
