Back to school is just around the corner, so we're urging all motorists to take care on the roads, particularly near schools and in built up areas.

Be mindful of pedestrians and cyclists, we all share the road.

We'd ask parents to ensure that your child is visible when walking or cycling to school, and if you're driving always make sure everyone has put on their seat belts.

Cuimhnigh, tóg go bog é agus tiomáin go cúramach.

Ahead of tomorrow's Leaving Cert results, we're appealing to parents to talk to your child about being sensible when it comes to alcohol, drugs and going out.

While we want everyone to enjoy themselves and the celebrations, it's important to be safe - make sure they've made a plan for getting home, that they know to never drive under the influence, to stay with their friends while out and to call 999 in an emergency, no matter what has happened.
