A Roscommon mother and daughter, have been awarded the Road Safety Authority (RSA) ‘Gertie Shields Supreme Award’ for road safety for 2023. In addition to their awareness efforts since their horrific experience, they have been advocates of child car seat safety, highlighting the importance of ensuring they are fitted correctly and checked regularly. Clodagh and Méabh were also the recipients of the Road Safety Champion category award at this year’s awards. That is why I am so passionate about road safety among teenagers, especially when you consider all the fatal accidents this year involving young people. I am forever grateful to the RSA and road safety is always going to be a huge part of my life," Méabh said.
