A Tipperary man has been honoured for his work on road safety promotion at a prestigious awards ceremony.
Killenaule’s Barry Murphy was 22 when he was seriously injured after the car he was a back-seat passenger in left the road and struck a wall at 100kph.
He had been wearing a seat belt, but his injuries left him in a coma for two months and unable to remember his childhood.
Now, Barry travels to schools to promote a road safety message.
He’s been honoured with a Road Safety Ambassador award for his work in speaking to school children about road safety.
He says it’s important for people to know the dangers…
