Be visible, be safe

Though the evenings are still long and bright and great for those who like to go for a walk, being visible to motorists is still important for road safety.

Especially for older people, who might not be as aware of approaching traffic from behind.

In order to help there, free high-viz vests are available from participating pharmacies, including those in Kilcullen, to people over 65.

Just one vest per person is available in the initiative, which is sponsored by Age Action Ireland, the Road Safety Auhtority and the Irish Pharmacy Union.

If you qualify, go get one. Don’t be shy, be visible.
