The Road Safety Authority has announced the winners of its annual Seatbelt Sheriff Awards which celebrate the dedication and creative ideas of primary school children to keep themselves, their friends and their loved ones safe on our roads.
The Seatbelt Sheriff Awards are now in their 19th year, and while it’s not their first rodeo, this year marks the first year that the Seatbelt Sheriff galloped off into the sunset to deliver the awards in person to the winning schools.
First class students from Scoil Naomh Muire Eas Géitine, Clounreask, Askeaton, Co. Limerick were awarded first prize in the ‘Seatbelt Sheriff’ competition for their poster “Keep your seatbelt clicked on tight or else you might get a big fright”, while second class students from Borris National School, Borris, Co. Carlow came out top in the ‘High Glo Silver’ competition for their poster “Be keen to be seen”.
