Chris Harley, Road Safety Officer said, “The
Donegal Road Safety Working Group are delighted with the continued efforts of
Finn Harps Football Club to help promote greater awareness of the dangers on
our roads. Children are among our most vulnerable road users, so we all have a
responsibility to make sure they develop good road safety habits at an early
age. The Primary School Art Competition Competition will help raise awareness,
change behaviour and influence all road users about road safety. Everyone who
uses the roads has a role to play in keeping our roads safe”.
Kevin McHugh, Finn Harps Academy said, “This
competition, with the message “Safer Roads for our pedestrians and cyclists”,
is a chance for young people to design an artwork to promote safety on our
roads and to share the importance of looking out for all road users. Children
are encouraged to use their creative thinking and unique artwork to educate
themselves and others about road safety”.
The closing date for the competition is Tuesday,
20th February 2024 and entries should be sent to, Road Safety Art
