 Ian O’Flynn of Westmeath Community Development was in Irish Rural links (Moate) on Thursday the 28th of January 2010 to listen to a presentation given by Gay Byrne, Chairman of Ireland's Road Safety Authority (RSA).
Gay Byrne presented the prizes to the winners of Irish Rural Link’s first National Draw. The presentation of prizes took place following a talk on the importance of rural road safety.
Following on from a most impressive talk from Gay on the importance of road safety and the need for a “culture of safety” in Ireland and Gay’s personal philosophies on Safety in Rural Ireland, the floor was then handed over to Noel Brett, CEO of the RSA who gave a very informative and in depth presentation on the history of road safety, where we stood and some of the innovative projects and ideas going forward.
