A new nationwide initiative being rolled out by the Gardai across the country could potentially save lives on Irish roads.
The Lifesaver Project is a road safety education program delivered by members of An Garda Síochána.
It's a hard-hitting and realistic road safety presentation highlighting the devastating effects that road traffic collisions have on people’s lives.
A spokesperson for Waterford Gardai said it's a two hour programme of interactive engagement with the audience supported by video inserts and personal experiences of road traffic collision victims and/or their families.
"The program delivers a strong road safety message that everyone needs to hear and help address the current rising death and serious injury collision on our roads," said the spokesperson.
"The project is being rolled out nationwide with Gardaí from across the country trained in delivering the presentation," she added.
Anyone in the Déise interested in having the Lifesaver Project delivered in their school, college, business or company can find out more by contacting Garda Grainne O’Shea via WK.WaterfordCityCE@garda.ie
