Undertaker takes part in road-safety talks with pupils
An undertaker will be part of a group giving talks on road safety to pupils in Ballina, Co Mayo today.
David McGowan will be accompanied by a garda, members of the emergency services and a family member of a person who died in a road accident.
Mr McGowan said he did not wish to frighten people with talk of funerals, but he wanted them to be on their guard when using the roads.
"I want to instil in people before they get into a car with a speeder driver, or someone who may be under the influence, or have taken drugs, to stop and think because you have all this trauma and devastation that you bring on your family and on the whole community (if there is an accident)," he said.
