World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims was on Sunday 16th November, and I understand the Road Safety Authority in conjunction with local Road Safety Officers, the Emergency Services and the Gardaí marked the day with a number of events.

The Government's Road Safety Strategy 2007 to 2012 includes a specific Action 14, for which the Road Safety Authority is the lead agency, to "integrate international road safety awareness events such as UN Global Road Safety Awareness Week, EU Road Safety Day and into road safety plans."
