I will spare a thought for the weekend's road fatalities and the affected families, but most especially for the two Gilmore infants who were tragically killed in Tuam, County Galway.

We must compliment the Road Safety Authority on its work. It is coincidental that this weekend will see a road safety festival in Oranmore, where there will be a Guinness Book of Records attempt for the most people wearing high-visibility vests. We are hoping to exceed 5,000. Road safety is important. I thank Mr. Noel Brett and the RSA, which will bring simulators to show how easily cars can turn over, the effect of alcohol on driving, etc. The festival will be an eye opener, as the consequences of accidents can be gruesome. I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach for the opportunity to raise this issue.
