Remembering victims of road traffic tragedies
On 12 November, South Dublin County Council will hold a poignant event to honour those affected by road traffic accidents. The occasion also highlights the council’s dedication to safer roads through its Vision Zero initiative aiming to end fatalities and serious injuries.
Honouring loss and commitment to safety
The event pays tribute not only to the victims but also to their families, friends, and communities, who bear the enduring weight of grief. It serves as a powerful reminder of the urgent necessity for enhanced road safety measures.
The council reinforces its commitment to Vision Zero, a strategy dedicated to eradicating road deaths and serious injuries altogether.
How to participate
Members of the public are invited to engage by signing the online ‘Book of Remembrance’ or by leaving a message and photograph on the ‘Wall of Remembrance’ dedicated to loved ones lost in road incidents.
Mayor of South Dublin County Council, Cllr Francis Timmons, expressed his heartfelt sentiments:
“As we continue to honour this important event, we are delighted to ask members of the public to write on our ‘Wall of Remembrance’ or ‘Book of Remembrance’ in memory of their loved ones. I would also like to take time to acknowledge the crucial work of the emergency services when they respond to road traffic collisions.”
This commemorative day encourages reflection and community solidarity in the pursuit of safer roads across the county.
